allergies

Woke up this morning to massive bumps absolutely everywhere on my kitten and I'm wondering if these are insect bites, or food allergy related or if anyone has seen anything like this before They just look miserable and want to do something to make them go away

My 7 month old recently developed a rash on his front legs. He is also scratching his face to the point that he gets a scab. There is no rash on his tummy or back, only on his front lower legs. We recently got a diff type (mulit-cat, we used to get reg formula) of the same brand litter. I...

I've read that aloe is toxic to cats, obviously if eaten, but what about if applied? I see many cat shampoo products boasting aloe, but I'd be concerned about them licking themselves after. Is this a real concern, or as long as it's rinsed properly, it's fine?

Do my kitten I just got, Pavlov, seems to always be squinting and closing his eyes, and they're always goofy with brown stuff. He also always sounds like he has allergies sniffling and sometimes coughing. He'said also very lethargic, but will get hyper when hes playing. Should I take him in? Is...

hello everybody! I have a question about red spots my sphynx kitten has on his skin. They are different size and swelled (especially on his head). They seem a little itchy. These disappear (or get smaller) in 3-4 days and new ones appear again soon. I took him to the vet and he said it is a...

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...

We are almost at the end of the 2nd vial of the 3 that was in the starter kit. When, she gets the 3rd vial taken, it will be, one shot every 30 days. But, she is doing excellent, like nothing has ever been wrong. The Prescription Food, is great for her, she, likes it. I'm so glad I had the...

Hello everyone! My Ortensia is a 3 y.o. female (spayed) sphynx beauty who has had a couple issues that I have been battling since I've had her (at 14 weeks). Problem #1: Ortie has chronic loose stools. When I first got her as a kitten, I put her on grain free blue buffalo kitten food and she...

I think this will help a lot of people, who, is trying, everything else. About a year ago, Izmae started throwing up some off and on. I didn't think much of it. She started, throwing up more. I thought it was a allergy to Chicken. I changed her to a new food. She started doing alright. Then...

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...

Loki & Gatsby had their muscle testing done for allergies today at the vet. We decided to do this again as Loki was allergic to many kibbles, treats, and commercial raw foods the last time we did this test, which was about a year ago now. He has lots of issues with foods, so it’s important to us...

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...

Hi! I have had my kitten Umephere, Umie for short, since August. I've been around sphynxes since I was 10, and she is having some issues I have never seen before this consistently and this badly. She was really, really small, like 3 pounds at 4 months old and would eat like a rabbid animal. (she...

I have read on countless threads and websites that Sphynx are in no way hypoallergenic. But at the same time, most people also mention that their Sphynx bothers them/their loved ones less than coated cats. I have had a numerous list of allergies since I was younger. Including being severely...

Hey guys, I've got a long post, sorry. I deleted my original one (argh!) so I'm going to try again in less words. There's a lot going on with my kitty and I'm pretty worried about him. I've been having issues with my eldest, Raz, for awhile now. - irritation - oily skin - conjunctivitis in...

Hello! : ) I've been following this forum for a while but finally decided to join, especially since my boy has something going on with his skin. Vets around here don't have much knowledge about sphynxes, so maybe you can offer your opinions before I'll visit the vet. First of all, he has these...

Hi everyone! Just wanted to say a proper hello, and thanks for being such an informative resource on Sphynx cats! I'm falling in love with these little kitties, but trying to hold back until I know for sure my husband can handle them. I'm hoping that we can bring home a Sphynx of our very own...

I have had my male for about a year now. His eyes are always runny. It is NOT accompanied by any other symptoms such as sneezing. I changed his food and litter and it got a little better, but they still are runny quite often. I am thinking maybe the shampoo I use? I use Johnsons baby shampoo and...

Hey everyone, We've had our kitten a few weeks now, and I've been having severe allergy reactions once a week. It lasts one or two days, and always follows his Sunday night bath. This past bath night, I stepped out while Sue gave him a bath. Sure enough, the next day, I was a sneezing mess...

Hey guys, so I booked Lucifet in today have the chop in January, whilst under they will chip him, clean his ears and teeth however! I've read up online awhile ago how they can be allergic to ketamine, and how one little sphynx went off for his teeth cleaned and never came home! So I am beside...

So day two with our new sphynx kitten, my husband has always had allergy problems with cats and dogs. so first day no sneezing or feeling itchy when he touched him ( when normally when ever he gets in contact with a cat he would feel all itchy and would get rashes).Well i am hoping he isn't...

I've noticed with one of my babies that the day after I bathe him, he gets really really dry skin. I've tried several different shampoos and they all seem to break him out or give him super dry, flaky skin. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem and has any tips on how to clear it up...

I keep reading that the sphynx isn't really hypoallergenic and causes as much allergies as a normal cat because the allergies doesn't exactly come from the fur but from their skincells and saliva. But still, my boyfriend doesn't get allergies from our sphynx, only if he's been petting him and...

My baby Petey will be 6yrs in May & for the last month I can't figure out his "rash" and no help from the vet. I have not changed food, litter, soap or detergent. Any suggestions on what this may be & what I can do would be great! It doesn't seem to bother him. He doesn't scratch @ it or lick @...

Does your sphynx have urticaria pigmentosa/severe hive? I desperately need to connect with anyone owning a sphynx with this health problem.
