There is something hard on the cat s chin, so you must pay attention to it in time!

There is something hard on the cat's chin, which is likely to be a cat's parotid gland tumor. A cat's parotid tumor is a common skin condition that forms a lump on the cat's chin. If you find your cat has lumps, you should take it to the veterinarian as soon as possible and have the veterinarian examine it to determine if there is a parotid tumor.

1. Folliculitis

When cats are infected with folliculitis, black particulate matter like cinder will appear on their chin, and some cats will also show frequent scratching. Because there are many reasons for folliculitis, such as too greasy diet, endocrine disorders, inappropriate use of bowls, etc., if you find that the cat has the above symptoms, you need to consult a pet doctor in time and then undergo targeted treatment, so that you can get better faster.

2. Skin diseases

When a cat is infected with skin diseases, scabs will develop, which will be hard to touch, and will also be accompanied by symptoms such as hair loss, redness and swelling of the skin, dandruff, etc. The owner can check whether this is still the case in other parts of the cat. If so, you need to consult a pet doctor in time and choose the right medicine for treatment.

3. Tumor

If the cat does not have symptoms such as itching and hair loss, and the hard bumps on the chin are still growing, it may be a tumor. At this time, you need to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination in time to see if the tumor is benign or malignant and whether surgical removal is required.
