Title: Strange, small lump.
Post by: Mel on September 06, 2010, 11:21:13 PM
Tali was just lying down having some ttouch mouth work and I found this hard lump on his left upper lip. It looks like a double headed whitehead and is hard and a bit crusty to the touch.

He was fine with me looking at it for a bit then shook his face several time like it was irritating. I checked his other lip and nothing there but he shook his head again then started scratching his ear violently and ran off.

Not asking for a diagnosis, it's just odd.

Ooh I don't mind that. I was a total rebel in my youth, well I still am.

He has some jolly good spots on his chin too  :005: Time for the Clearasil me thinks  ;)

One of our cats had acne as a teenager. It got a bit infected so she had to have ABs but what really cleared it up was bathing with Hibiscrub solution, hth
