Many people like to keep cats, but very few people really know cats. I wonder if you have ever encountered dark situations around cat mouths during the process of raising cats. So what's going on? Interested friends can come and learn about it.
1. Folliculitis
If cats suffer from folliculitis, they will experience darkness around their mouths, and at the same time, the root of the cat's tail sometimes becomes black. Usually it is caused by long-term feeding of cat food with relatively high oiliness. At this time, the owner needs to replace the cat with low fat, high protein and small oil. It should be noted that when replacing cat food, you must change it gradually and do not replace it suddenly, otherwise it will cause the cat to have diarrhea. In addition, it may also be caused by folliculitis caused by high hormones in cats. It is recommended to consult a pet doctor for medication in time.
2. Normal pigment precipitation
If the cat will not hide or feel pain when touching these dark places around the cat's mouth, and the cat does not experience other abnormal situations, then these black things are likely to be just normal pigment precipitation. In this case, the owner should not worry too much, as it will not affect the cat's health.
3. Fungal infection
If a cat is not only dark around the mouth, but also has symptoms such as hair loss and itchy skin, it is most likely caused by fungal infection. For cats with fungal infection, the cat's mouth needs to be shaved short during treatment, and then apply fungal ointment or fungal spray to the affected area. It is recommended that the owner consult a pet doctor in time. It is best to choose non-toxic drugs to prevent the cat from getting poisoned after licking.
