My best advice for when you have a kitten dipping his chin in the bowl bowl is to re wash his chin- then rinse it like 4 or 5 times...fully dry it 100% and then change to a 10 oz bowl- it is quite small. Your kitten could be dunking his chin because yeast is starting to grow (pretty invisible) from being wet and each time he dunks the chin- he thinks it is making him feel better- but in reality- his chin then gets even more itchy, and he dunks it again. After this clears- he will learn to use the water bowl for the water to be drank and not do this dipping any more.
Meanwhile- an additional helpmate is CB Anna's face shampoo and grooming powder.
Wash the chin with the face shampoo- rinse real good and then dry- once dry- use the powder to help
1. cover any staining areas, while
2. bleach appearace it back white over time. He will improve in looks with every use while helping to keep the chin section dry.
Once the chin gets healed and dried out- you can use any size bowl and he will not dip unless- shampoo wasn't fully rinsed from the chin well enough. Please keep in mind- Persian fur is like a huge sponge...it requires lots of rinsing.
