    Red Mark Appeared Suddenly

    Hi, I noticed this mark on on side of Loki's muzzle area this morning after he had his breakfast, he definitely didn't have this before so the only thing I can think of is that he went into the shower after I was done and may have touched something soapy left over on the wall? It's been about 3...

    Is this allergy or something else?

    Hello! I’m a mom of my first kitten (3 months old)! His name is Isaac, and he is my cutie angel. Few days ago I’ve noticed some strange spots on him :( Unfortunately in my city there is no vets who specialise on sphynx cats, so I wanna ask you, can it be an allergy? He was ill and vet gave him...

    WARNING! Do not use lime sulfur dip for ring worm

    Been lurking on the site for a while. Just picked up our baby boy on Christmas and he’s been the greatest addition to our family. I’ve always had dogs and a short stint with a dsh and baldy but this little guy has made me a “cat person” 100%. Unfortunately we had a very bad two days. Yesterday...

    Skin Problems

    Hello all, this is my Bellatrix, she will be one in April. She seems to have been struggling with a skin issue since she was very young, although I don't remember her looking like this when we brought her home. I am aware it could be something in my home making this happen but I try to use...

    rash after rabies vaccination

    My 1 year old male sphynx recently had his 2nd year rabies shots, and started to slowly spread around his neck and under arm and upper belly. Is there any type of topical ointments to help clear up and stop him from constantly scratching them? Any tips or recommendations from anyone that has...

    Recurring Skin Rash (Possible Allergies)

    Hello. So Buster has always had very good skin and never experienced any allergies. Earlier this month, we brought Buster to the vet because he had bad breath. Two days later, I noticed this rash on his body: I was concerned it may have been because I was using the heated blanket that night...

    Allergies

    This is going to sound very strange but I believe that my naked kitties are allergic to cats with hair. Three weeks ago we took in a 4 month old stray that was outside my house. He had an upper respiratory infection. We kept him isolated to one room of our home until a week ago. After getting...

    My little bumpy sphynx, any ideas?

    Our sphynx keeps getting a bumpy rash under his armpits, legs, back of the neck and sometimes on his ankles and face, sometimes it's just bumpy, sometimes the bumps look red, and when parts of it start to heal it turns to little dark grey spots. At the moment, there's a bit of everything! :( We...

    My sphynx has rashes, please help! :(

    Hi! My boy Tobias has rashes every now and then. They come and go and are very intensive for about one hour. The doctors have not figured out what it could be and we can´t seem to associate the rashes to the food he eats. He has had 2 shots of cortisone which help, however it is only temporary...

    Skin lesions

    Hello! I'm new here and have just registered for the express purpose of finding some answers to a puzzling condition my kitty has been having. Within the last year, my Sphynx Hans-Peter, has started having very bad allergies. My vet referred me to a specialist and I have been seeing a pet...

    Rash on head and neck

    Hello everyone, I’m a fairly new sphynx owner, but not a new cat owner. In about the last week my 10mo sphynx Cynder has developed a rash on the top of her head and back of her neck. It’s tiny bumps that are her skin colour and sometimes pink. There are some on her head that are a bit scabby...

    Scabs and red, bumpy skin

    So I'm noticing that my girl Charmayne has scabs around her neck, probably from scratching, and little pinkish bumps as well. I keep her nails trimmed and she had a scratching post which she uses daily so I'm thinking the scratching is not the occasional scratch. Then I also noticed more bumps...
