Addison has a fat lip! Eosinophilic Granuloma & Acne? - Page 3

AddFran · 01-04-2005, 11:23 AM

Wow, thank you! I had no idea.
She's been eating more wet food than dry lately anyway, so the tapering off should be easy. The other cat is much more picky, so that'll be a challenge, but I've been trying to feed them seperately anyway since Addison's food has all this stuff in it now!

Abhay, did the BSF help your cat?

YES, BSF works wonderful for my older , Tulsi. Tulsi got huge open sores that she licked(which just made them worse) and my vet wanted to keep her on steriod shots for the rest of her life. We didn't want that, so I asked Dr. Jean about the BSF, and now her sores are all better! They left and have never came back!

Take Care!

Well that's encouraging news. I'm glad I bought two bottles!
I'm so happy to hear that about your cat. Glad she's doing better! And, good for you for not doing the steroid shots and having a positive outcome!

Grrr.
Last night I got distracted or I would have posted about how the area on Addison's leg cleared up again and how her lip finally looked the way it should.
Came home from the store today and noticed her lip looked a little lopsided. Picked her up and looked and one side is starting to look a wee bit red and a little puffy.

AddFran · 01-09-2005, 03:02 PM

I'm not sure if this is related or not, but it appears that the puffyness I noticed yesterday may be kitty acne. Today she has a black line of connected dots along the bottom of her upper lip.

Any suggestions?

I had been using mostly glass bowls, but just went out and bought 4 stainless steel ones so that I can alternate between them when I'm washing two at a time.

I feel bad for her. Heck, I feel bad for me too. This is discouraging and stressful.

AddFran · 01-09-2005, 04:28 PM

Hmm, just went BACK to the petstore YET AGAIN to exchange my stainless bowls for ceramic. I read another post that said brushed aluminum was no good, so I was unsure of stainless, exchanged them just to be safe.

Oh, and it cost me $7.25 to PARK my car in the garage attached to our PetsMart, they don't validate parking on weekends. That is one thing I HATE about living in the city.

AND: my suspicions about this whole thing with Addison being realted to hormones are increasing dramatically. She is now doing the chirping noise constantly, rubbing on everything that she can touch including her face across the rug (hmm....chin acne...??) and doing that walking in place thing. She's in heat yet again. This is like every 2 weeks. Her appointment is on Tuesday. Thank goodness!

Those black specks sound like Feline Ache to me. Dr. Jean has an article on it...

Good luck!

Thanks, Abhay. That was helpful.
Dr. Jean also mentions in her article that EG can mimic cat acne too. So, I wonder if that's what the problem really is. Sheesh. This is tiring and frustrating.
