Our cat had some chin acne (from drooling, the vet said). It's gone away gradually over the summer (when she is getting more warmth and sun). We live in Wisconsin, and soon it won't be as sunny or warm by our windows, so what could we do to replace it?
I don't know if it's the Vitamin D that healed her chin or just the warmth of the sun. Any suggestions on what we can do to help her during the winter months? We'd rather not use ointments and other unnatural things on her, if we can help it.
Does anyone know for sure what about the sun might have helped her, and if there are any safe and natural replacements for it?

im no expert but my neighbor was saying she bought a "face tanner" which is about 3 panels that looks like a make up mirror. to keep her face with a tan and he daughter uses it every other day for a few minutes to help her acne. if it was from the sun and ur dr syas its ok maybe ur cat could get some kitty verison of fake bake like ppl uses for not only there cane but that SADD condition where they need sun. i guess its worth a try.

I kept a wild mouse alive for 30 months indoors in a hamster cage. My vet said to soak his food in cod liver oil so he would get plenty of vitamin D since he was never in the sun. The vet said he had never heard of a mouse that was wild living that long and he attributed it to the clean water and cod liver oil.
Ask your vet if it would be okay to soak part of your cat's food in cod liver oil.
Good luck!

You may want to post this under "Pets" rather than "Health". You may get more knowledgable responses.
