My cat has feline acne. Is this cone okay while she's on antibiotics?

If he is continually rubbing on his chin with his paw when the cone is off, then I would leave the cone on for a couple more days. However, you do need to wash the cone with hot water and a mild soap (dish soap or hand soap is fine) twice daily, then dry it completely before putting it back on. If he is NOT rubbing on his chin, its ok to leave the cone off. I hope that helps you! Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

The cone should stay on unless Jazmin has trouble eating or drinking. If this happens, it can be removed for mealtimes but should be replaced immediately afterwards. If you see her having trouble on the stairs, carry her up or gently raise her head to clear the steps. She will acclimate to the collar in a day or two.

Hi and thank you for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Even under supervision, animals that are recovering come surgery can bother their incision site, so it is preferred and advised that the e collar stays on her for the specified time indicated by your veterinarian or unless told otherwise by your vet. Having it on her at all times lessens the chance of agitating the incision site and prolonging healing times. Hope this helps and I hope Blossom has a swift recovery!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding September. I agree that she may have feline acne. If so, oral antibiotics will likely be necessary to help her heal. She will need to see a veterinarian to determine if this is the case and for a prescription to help her heal. I hope this information helps!

Hello. I would definitely take the collar off for a bit & see if he relaxes without it. You can always put the collar back on if he will not leave the biopsy site alone. If he truly needs a collar, check with your local Petco or other pet supply to purchase one of the soft, cloth-like collars. They are much more comfortable & Whisker's may do better with one of these. But if he leaves the site alone, he may not need to wear anything at all.

Hello there, I agree with your vet that Eve likely has feline chin acne. It can be frustrating to manage. You can try a different type of bowl, washing it more frequently, and using stridex pads on her chin. Here is a link: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/chin-acne-in-cats I hope this helps!

Hello, any protein source should be fine for his acne. It may be more beneficial to wipe the area of acne daily with skin sensitive baby wipes. You can also try to use stainless steel food bowls if you are using plastic bowls. Hope this helps.
