Okay, VERY long story short: Our cat Smudge (the kitty in my avatar) had out-of-control chin acne. Chin became infected and lymph nodes swelled up. After trying several things, we went to a veterinary dermatologist. In conjunction with a low-dose steroid and antibiotic, she wanted to do a food...

I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with this kind of problem. This is Smudge: When we adopted him in April, he had acne. We washed his chin with benzoyl peroxide and put muciprocin on it (per our vet). The comedones are pretty much gone but his chin is still swollen, he's lost...

Thought I'd post a few of my two here. Smudge is the tuxie and Abby is the tabby. I seem to have a lot more of Smudge even though he's only been here a couple of months. I swear that cat poses for me. Abby, on the other hand, is all "Yeesh! It's the paparazzi again! I'm outta here."

There's really no need to comment on this post. I just needed to vent.  We adopted Smudge a couple of months ago and took him in for a wellness check-up about a month ago. At that time, our vet noticed that Smudge had acne and his chin was swollen. So he prescribed a benzoyl peroxide wash and...

We adopted a new cat, Smudge, about two weeks ago. Our resident cat Abby is generally pretty laid back but obviously not wild about the new addition. We've been doing all the suggested things - keeping them separated, feeding them on opposite sides of the door, scent switching, etc. Last week...

Hi everyone! I'm brand new to the forum but already have a question. About 10 days ago, we adopted Smudge (the kitty in my avatar). He's about 6 years old and is the most amazing little guy - sweet, affectionate, outgoing, calm. We love him to bits. However, all 4 of his feet were declawed by...

Hi everyone! I have two kitty-kids: Abby and Smudge. Abby is about 12 and we've had her for about 10 years. Smudge is around 6 and we just adopted him about 10 days ago. Oh, and I also have a husband and 2 dogs.  Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
