Cat chin has a hard thing

A hard object on a cat's chin may be caused by furunculosis or a skin disease, or it could be a tumor. Owners can check to see if the hard knot is on the surface of the skin, which may indicate a local skin infection or furunculosis in the cat, requiring timely consultation with a pet doctor for medication treatment. If the hard knot is beneath the skin, it is likely a tumor, and it is urgent to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination to determine the nature of the tumor.

1. Furunculosis

When a cat contracts furunculosis, black granular substances resembling coal渣 will appear on the chin, and some cats may also show frequent scratching. There are many causes of furunculosis, such as oily diet, endocrine disorder, and using inappropriate bowls, etc. If you find that your cat has the above symptoms, you should consult a pet doctor in time and receive targeted treatment to recover faster.

1. Skin disease

When a cat contracts a skin disease, it will form scabs that feel hard to the touch, and it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as hair loss, skin redness and swelling, and dandruff. Owners can check if there are similar conditions on other parts of the cat's body. If so, it is necessary to consult a pet doctor in time and choose appropriate medication for treatment.

1. Tumor

If the cat does not show symptoms such as itching and hair loss, and the hard knot on the chin is gradually growing larger, it may be a tumor. In this case, it is necessary to take the cat to the pet hospital promptly to see if the tumor is benign or malignant and whether surgical removal is required.
