Tuffy's chin acne is somewhat under control but two small zits (at least that's what it looks like) have popped up in the corner of his eye. It doesn't seem to be bothering him and I don't want to risk putting any ointment so close to his eye. Should I apply a warm compress or just leave as is? He's due for a recheck at the vet on Friday so I'll certainly ask him about it then but I'm wondering if anyone on this board ever had something like this? Thanks!

Hmmmm, not sure what that is....
But it looks innocuous enough to let it wait til Friday and your vet appointment. I imagine it will go away...Sophie hass had things like this as has Kora, and they went away on their own.

My first bully had something that looked very similar, turned out to be demodex. How old is Tuffy, could it possibly be that?
Tuffy's 10 months old...
I'll ask the vet about that on Friday. For now it doesn't seem to be bothering him so I'll leave it as is!
Well, he's at the right age...
have your vet do a skin scraping on Friday. My first boy, Truman, had exactly the same thing in the same place and it freaked me out. The skin scrape showed the mites so we got him on meds to get rid of it. Let me know what your vet says. Tuffy is just adorable!
Thanks, Kathy...I'll keep you posted!
And Tuffy says thanks for the compliment!
