Hello, My partner and I recently brought home a now 5 month old Sphynx boy (Tofu). After one week of having him, he got a small rash; we changed out the litter and shampoo He was doing great for a while, flash forward a month and a half into him being home, and the rash came back, but this...

Hey, Sphynxlair Community - Our sweet kitty has a gnarly break-out of large, red, incomfy bumps on her head. It started with about 1-2 bumps and right when we throught they were going away more popped up!! She has eaten the same freeze-dried duck morsels by Stella & Chewy since we got her...

My almost 4 month old kitten has recently developed spots (kind of like a rash) mainly on her sides. The bumps are all difference sizes. It started with one or two spots about two weeks ago and only got really bad in the last 3 days. As far as I can tell they don't irritate her. She doesn't lick...

Are Sphynx Hypoallergenic? No, not really. Yes it's true, some animals seem to be more tolerable than others when it comes to an allergic reaction, and many allergic Sphynx owners have claimed they are less hypoallergenic, the truth is - there are no cats including the sphynx that do not...

#1 Food allergies: It is not uncommon for some sphynx to have food allergies. Many studies have shown that certain ingredients contained in cat food are more likely to cause food allergies than others. The most common offenders are chicken, beef, lamb, seafood, corn, soy, wheat gluten and dairy...
