What's the matter with the cat's jaw black, and the dirty stuff one by one? This is actually a common ** disease in cats, the chin darkens not only leads to a decrease in the cat's appearance, but also affects the cat's physical and mental health! In fact, there are several reasons for cats to have "black chin", and knowing the reasons can be well prevented
A cat's black chin is actually folliculitis, which is a common cat disease. Specifically, there are a lot of dirty black spots on the chin, as if they are not cleaned properly. In severe cases, it can cause redness and swelling, pimples, and even hair loss.
1. Cleaning is not in place
Cats usually like to play in small corners of the house, if the hygiene of the home is not clean, cats are prone to bacterial infection during play, resulting in folliculitis. Food debris may also get on the chin during eating, but the cat's tongue cannot lick the chin and cannot clean itself, which will also lead to the appearance of a "black chin".
2. Plastic cat bowls
Plastic itself is prone to grease hanging on the wall, which is more difficult to clean, and if it is not cleaned carefully, the grease will accumulate and deteriorate, breeding bacteria. The plastic material is relatively soft, and it is very easy to produce scratches, and the dirt will hide in these scratches and begin to breed bacteria, and these bacteria in the plastic cat bowl may induce the cat's folliculitis and produce a "black chin".
3. Excessive stress leads to endocrine disorders
When cats are under too much stress, it will stimulate the production of adrenal glands and cortisol, and excessive oil secretion will block the hair follicle orifice, which is also a trigger for folliculitis. In addition, the cat's excessive stress leads to endocrine disorders in the body, which will also cause excessive oil secretion, which is manifested in the symptoms of ** is that the chin has become a "black chin".
4. The food is too greasy
There are many oil glands in the chin area of cats, if the cat's food is too greasy, it will cause the cat's oil secretion to be too much and cannot be discharged in time, and these poorly metabolized oils accumulate in the hair follicles, which will induce folliculitis and appear "black chin".
1. Do a good job of daily cleaning for cats
Do a good job of cleaning and sanitation of the family, clean the corners, eliminate the "sanitary dead ends", and solve the health problems of cats from the outside. At the same time, after the cat eats, use wet wipes to wipe the chin part that they can't lick in time to prevent food residues from accumulating on the wet chin and avoid bacteria from using the cat's wet chin as a breeding ground.
2. Change the cat bowl
It is best to choose a stable material such as ceramic, glass or stainless steel for cats, which are refreshing and easier to clean. It's not enough to change the bowl, but also to clean the cat's food bowl and water bowl before or after the cat's food, and wash and disinfect it frequently to better prevent it
3. Pay attention to your cat's mental health
Cats are more sensitive, and they are easily stimulated by changes in their surroundings, and their emotions will also be affected. When raising cats, it is also necessary to provide a stable and quiet environment for cats. If the cat has been affected, you can choose to feed some treats and use delicacies to divert the cat's attention and soothe its emotions.
I recommend a small snack to everyone"Gluttonous freeze-dried duck meat cubes".The freeze-dried meat without additives is nutritious and healthy, and the cool meat of duck meat can also clear away heat and reduce fire, which can also relieve the symptoms of "black chin" while soothing emotions.
4. Change to a non-greasy baked cat food
As the so-called "disease from the mouth", to prevent folliculitis caused by excessive oil, do not eat some too greasy food, in the staple food cat food, you can choose baked cat food, because baking cat food in the process of less oil spray this step, it is more low oil, therefore, choose a refreshing and non-greasy baked food, in the "cat chin defense", it plays a very key role.
