Hello! I'm glad you reached out about your little girl's chin issue. What you're noticing could potentially be feline acne, which is fairly common in cats. It typically looks like small black bumps or a collection of "dirt" and can sometimes lead to swelling and redness if it becomes infected.
Feline acne can be caused by a variety of factors such as stress, poor grooming habits, or even allergies to things like plastic bowls (switching to stainless steel or ceramic might help). Mild cases can be managed at home by gently cleaning the area with a warm, damp cloth once a day.
Keep an eye out for any signs that the situation is getting worse, such as increased swelling, tenderness, or a foul odor. This could mean an infection is developing, which would require veterinary attention.
I'd recommend setting up a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. This will allow us to take a closer look and provide more tailored advice. It's always better to be safe, and getting a professional opinion can help you manage this effectively. Looking forward to helping out further!

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
