The cat has black cinder on its mouth. It may be because the cat has folliculitis, also known as the black chin, which is usually distributed in the chin area. The cat's black chin is not contagious. If the cat's condition is serious, it will cause blockage and inflammation. Therefore, pet owners need to take a series of measures to help the cat treat it in time.
1. Chin treatment
If the cat's black chin is not serious and there is only a small amount of secretions, then you only need to gently wipe the cat's black chin with clean water. After washing, blow dry in time to keep the skin dry and avoid bacterial growth.
If the cat has severe symptoms of black chin, such as obvious hair loss, increased secretions, and red bumps, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination. These symptoms may be caused by fungal infection or mites. You need to remove the chin hair, disinfect it with hydrogen peroxide or iodine, then spray it with meow and then use it with Wang Miao Skin for cleaning and care.
2. Nutritional supplements
The black chin of cats is usually due to unbalanced diet and less nutrient absorption, which leads to weaker resistance in cats, especially the deficiency of vitamin B, which affects skin health. Therefore, cats can be fed with Jiaqu Vitamin B to help supplement vitamin nutrition.
3. Pay attention to diet
Some pet owners may only pay attention to the nutrition of cat food when buying cat food, but do not pay attention to the oil content of cat food. If cats eat cat food or food with high fat for a long time, it will cause dark chins. Therefore, pets mainly replace cat food and food with low fat to avoid feeding cats with too greasy food. You can choose low-fat and high-fiber cat food. At the same time, keep the cat drinking sufficient water to promote the body's metabolism.
4. Replace cat bowls
Most pet owners prepare plastic food bowls for their cats, which are prone to accumulation of dirt and bacteria. When a cat is dining, its chin will frequently touch the surface of the plastic bowl, and bacteria will transfer to the cat's skin, eventually causing the cat to have a dark chin. To ensure the health of the cat, pet owners need to change the cat bowl in time and choose a cat bowl made of ceramic or stainless steel that is easy to clean. At the same time, cat food utensils should be cleaned and disinfected regularly.
In short, the treatment and prevention of cat black chin folliculitis requires the owner's careful attention and scientific methods. By cleaning your chin, supplementing nutrition, changing food and changing cat bowls, it can effectively treat and prevent cats from having black chin folliculitis.
