Fluffy has suddenly got black stuff under his chin, cant be fleas as he doesnt itch at all, or any visible fleas so i guess its acne, and i tried wiping it with baby wipes they are coming off but i feel like it spreading, how do i treat it. Also, i feel like hes depressed hes always sleeping and looks sad.

You should use a plate for Fluffy’s food and clean it frequently since oils from food or a reaction to plastic bowls can lead to acne. Occasionally medicated benzoyl peroxide wipes or ointments like mupirocin are needed to help with acne. Depression shouldn’t be related and can be a sign of a number of diseases so if it continues and you’re concerned your should see a veterinarian.
