Can Aloe Vera be used in cases of Feline Acne?
This is quite a common condition of cats seen as loss of hair, follicular papules with a localised furunculosis (spots) particularly around the lips and chin. Best results are achieved by cleaning off the area with dilute Aloe Liquid Soap. Dry gently then apply Aloe Veterinary Formula followed by Aloe Vera Gelly. Rub these well in and repeat 3-4 times daily. This initial treatment may stimulate the “healing crisis” which should settle down after 5 days or so. If secondary infection is a particular problem, then change from the Aloe Vera Gelly to the Aloe Propolis Crème. Adding 20mls Aloe Vera Gel to the diet daily also proves beneficial.
