advice

I brought home my sweet boy a month ago. He is now 4 months old and weighs about 5 lbs. He didn't act out of the ordinary..but his poop smelled god awful. Well, it turns out that he had Giardiasis and Coccidiosis. Treated both and after his last dose he started having diarrhea with blood. Weird...

So, it has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember to raise baby animals. I've researched and asked many questions of many different breeders both cat and dog.. I waited until I found a breed I was absolutely infatuated with, well I've found my love. So now I think I'm ready, I want...

so, as you may know from my other threads, I'm 11, I live in Canada, Im getting a sphynx kitten in December and I am absolutely OBSESSED! But, with a sphynx, comes supplies, and with supplies, comes care. I'd like some advice on how to care for a sphynx (bathing, feeding, comfort,etc.) and the...

Hello all! First time poster, year long watcher here! I have been on sphynxlair since I got my first sphynx kitty, Ollivander (Olli for short) about a year ago. I haven't felt the need to post a question in the past because I have been able to find answers in previous threads BUT now I need a...

Hi all! I introduced myself a couple of days ago. We are still a few months out from getting our baby but I have a few questions that I'd like opinions on. What is your favorite shampoo for your sphynx? Do you use any sort of skin moisturizer? What is your go to litter? What food/type of...

Hi! I've been reading through so much of this site daily to feel more informed & prepared for my 1st cat. I picked her out this month and I'm getting her in December. The breeder uses ExquisiCat Pine Litter, and feeds Wellness Complete Health Kitten wet food. I'm wondering if these are all...

I don't know if I really need kitten insurance but I wanted to ask the pros LOL. Do you have it? Would you suggest it? What plans are best? I've been doing a lot of reading but I'm still not sure. Especially when there is no routine coverage.... that seems silly to me. Help!

Dunkin was a little too energetic today and ran right into a glass piece. I distracted the cats with some toys while I cleaned up the glass but I'm worried about this happening again. We have a lot of breakable items and the cats aren't supposed to be on tables and counters but Dunkin runs...

Hi everyone. Please, any advice or own accounts would be appreciated. I have a 5 year old Sphynx who's stools were a little on the runny side with mucus and what looked like fresh blood. His eating is normal and he is a good weight. If a little on the lighter side. He's never been a fat cat. I...

In a couple of weeks I'm adopting a Sphynx! Incredibly excited...but with it I'm very anxious and feel a bit lost. I've never owned any type of cat before (parents are avid dog lovers) and while I've done plenty of research and am confident on knowing how to maintain an overall well being for...

My partner and I are considering moving in together but there is one major hiccup in these plans; he's allergic to my cat. Because it has to do with an enzyme in the saliva it's almost worse that there's no fur involved. How can I have the best of both worlds?; keeping my commitment to both of...

Hello. It's unfortunately been quite a while since I've been on. This weekend I came home from school to visit my family and of coarse, Buster! Well I just noticed something odd about his tail. Buster usually has a good amount of fuzz on his tail with a white tip. While petting him I realized...

Hi all, We've had our first sphynx, Camira, for two years now (got her as a kitten)--she is absolutely wonderful and we don't know what we did without her! Recently we acquired a second sphynx, a boy, one year old, already neutered (named Krieger). We've had him for about a month, and he and...

Hello, after searching for a Sphynx to rescue, we found one on Craig's list from a family moving to Jerusalem in three months. She is absolutely beautiful and sweet. We did the research on care and the owner told us some things about her, but I'd really like some personal advice from owners! Any...
