CATDOLL : What’s wrong with the black stuff on my cat’s mouth?

Reasons why there is black stuff on the cat's mouth:

1. The blockage of hair follicles may be due to the cat's endocrine disorder, and the chin is a place that the cat cannot clean by itself. The oil secreted by the endocrine disorder will clog the pores and black things will appear.

2. If the food that cats eat contains too much fat, it can also cause the cat's hair follicles to become clogged and black substances to appear.

3. The food bowl used by the cat is not clean enough. The density of plastic water bowls and food bowls is low and there will be many invisible small holes. These small holes hide bacteria and are difficult to clean. Using plastic food utensils will cause cats to be infected by bacteria and cause black things on their mouths.

The solution to the black stuff on the cat's mouth:

1. There is black residue on the kitten's chin, which is folliculitis. It needs to be washed with saline and treated with drugs containing antibiotics such as erythromycin.

2. During treatment, you need to use scissors to trim the hair on the chin to facilitate the cleaning of black foreign bodies, then disinfect it with diluted hydrogen peroxide, and finally apply antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment.

3. In addition, the cat's food needs to be replaced with low-fat and low-salt food, and sufficient drinking water needs to be provided.
