  • My oldest male cat had a seizure this evening. This site was the first place I could think of to go after the seizure had passed. Dr. Lucy was fantastic and she was spot on! Debbie USA
  • I must tell you I found this site by accident and was amazed when I asked a question of the Veteranians online. I wish I could have found it sooner it could have made such a difference in the outcome of my pet's surgery. However, I am passing along the information to my sister-in-law (a cat-rescue person who is also a nurse), and perhaps it will help someone else who may experience the same problem. The doctor who answered my question was amazing, and while it didn't come it time to change the outcome of my situation, it is reassuring to know the caliber of Vets/Doctors that you have at JustAnswer. Thank you for being there. Alice H. Jacksonville, Fl.
  • Wonderful service, prompt, efficient, and accurate. Couldn't have asked for more. I cannot thank you enough for your help. Mary C. Freshfield, Liverpool, UK
 
 
 

My cat has a strange lump under his chin. It doesnt feel solid

 
 
 

Customer Question

Ask your own question now >

My cat has a strange lump under his chin. It doesn't feel solid doesn't seem to be bothering him at all. His gums are nice and pink and healthy looking and his teeth look great. No runny eyes or nose at all. He has a couple of scabs on them but nothing serious looking. I just recently adopted him and changed his food over. I first noticed it two weeks ago and it very recently gotten worse. could this be a food allergy?

I want to say that i noticed it a week ago. Didn't really think anything of it because it wasn't bothering him at all. But i looked at him yesturday and its now swollen and seems to have gotten worse. It stilld doesn't look to be bothering him. He's still eating and playing with the other cats.

Response From Expert

OK, thanks. Is there any crust or debris on the skin in this area?

Accepted Answer

OK, thanks for the information. This is most likely Feline Chin Acne, which is a fairly common problem. It's usually a mild bacterial infection of the skin, which will often respond to antibiotics, but there's often an underlying allergy that causes the problem to happen. We usually recommend eliminating all plastic bowls for food (use stainless steel, or glass), and also try to eliminate any toys that are plastic or have dyes, etc in them. If this doesn't help prevent the problem from coming back, then sometimes a low-allergen diet is needed.
