This post is long long overdue. Back in October or September (so long ago, I can’t even remember!), I notice there were a lot of red bumps on Chase’s jaw, right at the bottom of his chin. DB look at it and he thinks it’s NBD (no big deal). So I thought nbd, nbd lah. Took a picture of it but memory card spoiled. That is why no picture up here. He said nothing to loose our sleep over this. Cooper had them before but then back in 2001, Cooper was a year old and being first time dog owner we sure brought him to the vet. Vet of course prescribed medication. But for Chase….more chin-chai.

So, I left it be for 2 weeks, DB already left for TX. The red bumps became boil like bumps. So what I did, I put my acne cream on them which became the best acne treatment in my book for Chase’s acne!!! They dried up within a day and some in two days.  Moreover, I used a sterilized needle to bust some of those boils.  Not an easy task coz that fella was squirming around trying to get away (who wouldn’t, right?) and just me trying to hold him down with my legs.  Now he is acne free.  I searched the web and it is very common for dogs or even cats to develop acne from the oil in the food, dirt and bacteria.
