Hello there! I'm sorry to hear about your cat's chin. A raised wound in this area could be due to several things. One common cause is feline acne, which can appear as small blackheads or larger, inflamed bumps. Allergic reactions or insect bites can also lead to raised areas on the chin. Occasionally, an injury or trauma might result in a raised, scabbed wound.
At home, you can gently clean the area with a warm, damp cloth. If it's safe to do so, applying a diluted antiseptic solution can help keep it clean. Make sure your cat isn't rubbing the area, and consider using a soft cone if necessary.
Keep an eye out for signs like increasing redness, swelling, pus, or if your cat seems to be in pain. These can indicate an infection or a more serious issue needing veterinary attention. Loss of appetite or significant changes in behavior can also be signs something's not right.
For a more precise diagnosis and tailored advice, consider booking a video consultation with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. We can take a closer look and help you decide on the best course of action for your furry friend.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
