Hello fellow sphynx lovers! Unfortunately, Olga has been in pain lately. She keeps chattering (shaking her jaw) and had reduced her food intake which is extremely unlike her. We took her to the vet and she thinks she might be having FOPs or feline orofacial pain syndrome which is a neurological...

Hello everyone, i wanted to come on here to get recommendations for a Vet that does teeth cleanings for Sphynx in the Greater Los Ángeles área. As you know, they can’t be under for too long and I find it difficult to brush their teeth. (They’re fighters, LOL). I do supplement with greenies and...

Hi all! So Dolly had complex dental surgery about 4 weeks ago and now has 4 big teeth left bless her! She was back to eating her food normally within a few days and by 1 week she seemed like she was doing great However, the last few weeks she has vomited around once a week and I have noticed...

I am curious the oldest Sphynx you have put under anesthesia for a dental or other surgery? Is it just Ketamine to avoid? Do they usually do ok on anesthesia? Our Sphynx is 15 years old. We've fed raw for 10 years and our vet said last year and even UT vet school in 2013 her teeth looked fine. I...

So it is now the day after the great dental ordeal! I am running on about 3hrs of sleep and a bucket load if coffee today. She cried until the anesthetic finally wore off at about 4am and then she begged for food and head rubs from that point on. She wasn't aloud food until this morning and...

I'm sure I'm being paranoid but I am starting to get concerned. Elfie is not warming up to the new kitten, and on top of that she is still in pain waiting for her dental surgery tomorrow, and I feel like all the trust I spent months and months building up with her is flying right out the...

So Elfie didnt eat her breakfast this morning and that's just not like her! Not even when she is upset! Then she didn't come down and ask for lunch and that was really unusual so I went looking for her and found her curled up in my bed. When I pulled the blanket off of her she yawned and when...

Hi all, So my 7 month old kitten got all his adult teeth in. They were nice and pearly white just a month ago, as I remember. I feed him Blue Wilderness kitten dry and 1 can of wet every 2 days. I also buy him high quality treats from whole foods, trader joes, or a pet store (grain-free)...

Hello all. Ive been away awhile, but Im back in need of some advise. My 4 year old Don Sphynx, Wrinks, was diagnosed this week with Stomatitis and Tooth resorption. I was told he would need a full mouth extraction or steroids for life. Anyone who has been through this please share your story...

So I've been seriously looking into Pet Insurance, such a drag! I found this nifty website, called petinsuranceuniversity.com It's awesome. After grueling hours of reading, I can't seem to find the "Best" one. I want low deductible, routine care covered, genetic conditions covered if one were to...

Hey everyone! We just brought our little guy home on the 8th and I was wondering, do any of you brush your kittens teeth? I read daily brushing is best with weekly being the very least. Do any of you have advice or favorite products? Thanks a bunch in advance! (I mean, look at those teeth... I...
