Feline acne

Feline acne is a common cat problem which is most often caused by overactive oil glands. It is isolated to the chin and lower lips and many times goes unnoticed until the area becomes infected, requiring veterinary care.

Some believe that plastic dishes that cats drink and eat out of, as they can harbor bacteria, can cause feline acne.
