The Basics of Ran

Hey! I took Elliott (and Miercoles) to the vet earlier this week, and guess what?! Elli has ACNE! What?!

I had no idea a cat could get acne. He had these little scabs under his chin, and I'd believed Mierco'd kicked or scratched him there. (Naughty, Miercoles!!)

But no, these scabs are just little black heads all infected and awful. I felt sad for him...he had to be "clipped." Basically, the vet just trimmed his chin hair (looks funny now!) to "express" the black heads. He's on a special soap and cream to clear it up. Also, he can no longer eat out of a plastic bowl...this is somehow linked to the acne.

Surprising bits of knowlege: they happen every day.

  We can be acne twins!
  
  I hope he gets better though, it must suck, having claws and not being able to pick them out yourself.

  I have also noticed similar scabs on my cat lately, I was fearing another flea outbreak, thankfully no. I shall now implement the knowledge I have attained. Snap.
