My cat's chin is swollen. It looks like it has a blister on it, but only blood comes out of it. He cries if you touch it. When I take him to the vets, he has to be put under, so I would like to know if this is something more than just an infection. What do you think?

How swollen is his chin?

Is it just red and slightly inflammed or is it much larger than this?

Are there a bunch of red little bumps or just the one?

Does he live indoors or frequent the outdoors aswell?

Is he eating and drinking okay?

Any drooling?

Thank you

Theresa

Reply to Theresa's Post: He's an indoor cat only. There has been no fleas in the apartment. He's eating and drinking fine. No drooling, though.

His entire chin began appearing discolored about a week ago. Then, his chin started to get this blister-like swelling. It had a scab on it. Now, it is pretty swollen. Now It is pretty swollen.
Why did you ask about multiple red bumps? I can not see multiple bumbs, but am not able to investigate thoroughly (He is a very big cat!)
