Looks like a rodent ulcer, but you should see the vet to confirm. Rodent ulcers, despite the name, aren't rodent related usually allergy driven. Which can be flea, food or plastic dish in origin. I'd see your vet and change to a metal food dish if you use plastic to cover the bases. Vet will...

...him, and that is when I noticed it looked a little pink and swollen. I googled what it could be and saw it could be something called a rodent ulcer. Today I noticed it was more swollen, and now I see a black spot on his chin. This makes me think it could also be cat acne. He was using a...

...of EGC is a steroid......that will both reduce the inflammation and put a lid on the immune response which is causing the reaction, the 'rodent ulcer'. I haven't yet seen a recommendation for antibiotics.....unless a biopsy is done (the only sure-fire diagnostic). I've had one of those here...

...your cat in person. That being said, I can tell you what I think, and what I would do if this was my cat. It doesn't look like any rodent ulcers I have seen. A rodent ulcer is actually eosinophilic granuloma complex. It can manifest in different locations on the cat. When it is on the lip...

This could be what is called a "rodent ulcer". Could be caused by using plastic dishes, if you are doing that. By not washing his food and/or water dishes with soapy water daily, in case you are NOT doing that. Could be caused by an environmental allergy, or a flea allergy (just takes one...

It could be a food allergy or even chin acne. Are you feeding her from a ceramic or stainless steel bowl and washing between feedings? It could also be a rodent ulcer or eosinophilic granuloma. I would definitely get to the vet for a check up and treatment.

@purrs123 - since Hazel already has another rodent ulcer, see if you can get the vet to prescribe something over the phone, that you can pick up from them without a vet visit - assuming this vet is familiar with her history. I don't know how uncomfortable rodent ulcers are, but if I had one and...

Hi. It looks like it could be an indolent ulcer, commonly referred to as a rodent ulcer (nothing to do with rodents, though). One of the causes can be from dishes that 'absorb' bacteria, such as plastic, even if they are cleaned frequently. If that is your case, change the dishes to ceramic or...
