My 4-yr old cat, Freya had feline acne a few months ago. I thought I got her all cleaned up and healthy, but a few weeks ago it came back with a vengeance.
I would like to understand what I should use to keep her face clean. I've read about a few different things, but am not having much success with what I've tried: Witch Hazel or just warm compresses followed by a very thin layer of Dr Harvey's (calendula based) cream. It's actually gotten worse so I'm just doing warm compress.
The two culprits that may be causing this are 1: a plant (just made it so she can't go near it) or 2: Sardines. (wild caught in water). I wonder if it's sardines because I've been adding it to the raw food I make. I just made a new batch of raw without the sardines yesterday and for the past two days I've kept her away from that food and given her a freeze dried raw cat food chicken protein.
She is very itchy. I do see her scratching at her chin a lot. I'm not sure but it might be more in the morning. She usually has mild "eye boogies" but they have gotten a bit bigger and pronounced and are reddish looking (she is a mostly white cat). I gave her a few doses of Antimonium. No effect. She got worse (the acne spread) after that but I'm assuming it had nothing to do with the homeopathy.
Thank you for your suggestions !
