Hey everyone, we're fairly new around here and I need your insight. My Sphynx baby eats a raw diet and I noticed a dribble of blood on his mouth... I didn't think anything of it, I also didn't clean his mouth right away. When he was done eating I went to clean him up and noticed cuts! It was his...

Hey everyone! I'm brand new to this forum. I was hoping to get some help from you knowledgeable sphynx owners. I adopted Bernini my first sphynx cat 2 months ago. I am totally in love with him and sometimes worry a bit to much about his health. Just a little background information about him : I...
