· Mild black chin:
Cats only have blocked pores on their chin, which may be accompanied by black slag-like acne, but there are no pustules or swelling.
· Others:
Carefully check the cat's chin and skin. If small scabs, large amounts of dander, multiple/large areas of hair loss, redness, swelling, ulcers, pus, and papules, it is recommended to go to the hospital and confirm the cause through Wood's lamp and dermal microscopy. If the black chin reaches moderate level, it is recommended to check first and then prescribe the medicine for a cat with mild black chin. How to clean and disinfect it?
· It is recommended to use medical chlorhexidine (chlorhexidine) solution to clean.
First moisten the pet's hair with warm water, take about 1 ml of lotion liquid (concentration reference 0.5%), rub the hair gently, massage for about 3-5 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. Be careful to rinse and wipe dry the water.
· After improvement, you can use normal saline warm compress instead.
Recommended pharmacies to buy ready-made ones; pay attention to the proportioning concentration when dispensing yourself, and choose boiled water or sterile water. After warm compress, it needs to be wiped dry to reduce bacterial growth.
