My sister has a female domestic short hair cat about two years old. She has a history of feline acne under her chin and a brown, crusty substance that forms in her ears. She has been treated with a steroid, Zymox, and Tresaderm for her ears. Ozonal olive oil, witch hazel, and an antiseptic wash have been used on the cat's acne with no success. Homeopathic liver allergy and anti-itch meds have also been used. There is no plastic in her food or water dishes. The area under her chin has enlarged and now includes part of her neck. In addition, the cat has licked the hair from the area under the base of her tail. She continues to scratch both her neck and around her ears. Does anyone have any experience with issues like this with a cat? She was a rescue from a no-kill shelter. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Could food allergies be a source of the problem?
