    Skin issues

    I have a 5 yo rescued sphynx who I’m 90% sure was let outside consistently by the previous owner. When we got Freddy Krueger, he had severe yeast build up and very, very dry skin. This was 2 years ago. I am a veterinary technician, and have spent the last 2 years with many dermatologist visits...

    Hello.. I am a new sphynx mummy and i am looking for some help. I recently bathed my sphynx with Johnston’s baby shampoo as she was looking a bit grimey. I applied some coconut oil before the bath too. She doesn’t like the bath much yet as she’s still only 13 weeks old. I used an exfoliating...

    So I asked A question in the question forum awhile back about wipe downs for my kitten.

    I have a one an a half year old grey and pink sphynx. He gets dirty a few days after a bath or a wipe down. I usually only bathe him once a month. Yesterday I noticed these brown spots that feel “raised” on his belly and his skin looks irritated too. I just bathed him and the spots are still...

    Hairy Sphynx Cat

    Hi Guys, the baby I’m about to adopt has some hair. The previous owner said she never bathes her, but I’m not sure if that’s the right thing to do. Does anyone have the same issue? Should I bathe her? Or just use wipes on the hairless areas? thank you so much

    One of my boys is extra oily. Help? ALSO, fav products for cleaning paws?

    Hi all. I have 2 sphynx boys, Albus (6) and Draco (2), and Draco is significantly more oily than Albus. He gets dirtier faster, his ears get waxier faster, and his nails get gunkier faster. Which of course means that between baths (1-2 weeks), furniture and counters get more marks on them. Does...

I was then recommended an algae shampoo from same pet store, and...
