Acne: Skin Disorder of Cats
 Feline acne also known as
cat acne is mostly present on cats. This kind of skin
disorder of cat normally develops on the chin area. However,
according to research this skin infection can also be
present on different areas of a cat’s body and an owner
should be careful in determining and pointing out which ones
are mere skin disorders and which ones is feline acne.
There are various skin
conditions that can be deemed as feline acne. It can be in
the form of a yeast infection or ringworm. These two skin
conditions can be associated with feline cat but determining
its distinctiveness will clearly illustrate their
differences. Feline acne can be a cause of
food allergies. It can also be caused by plastic dishes used for
their food. Plastic dishes are known to be the main sources
of microbes and dirt that aggravates scratches and infects
the cat. This kind of problem can be easily
resolved by means of using metal or glass food bowls in
serving their food. Stress is also considered as the main
factors in acquiring feline acne among your cat. Cats are
also subject to stress and reducing this condition can be
done by determining the sources of stress or seek a
veterinary’s help.

assistance would help you determine the proper preventive
ways of treating feline acne. Antibiotics can be given in
the course of ten to twenty days but this all depend on the
condition of the cat.
