Our Sphynx boy gets some pretty epic feline acne, we do our best to keep on top of it considering tictac likes to be a grubby boy! We noticed a lump on his chin that started off like a blind zit and got larger, we took him to the vets and with a course of antibiotics it almost disappeared. It...

Hi everyone I am getting ready for my Kitten to come home and I am buying things for his homecoming! I don't want to get too overzealous. I have been looking at cat trees and travel carriers. -Should I invest in a cat tree before he comes home? I'd like to see if he likes to climb UP before I...

I have a Bambino/Sphynx who I purchased last year from a local breeder in town. Very quickly after getting him I realized that he wasn't like most cats. It was very clear to me that he had some mental impairments (Im assuming from irresponsible breeding) I emailed a very lengthy email to the...

Hello! My name is Alyssa Gammell. I am 17 years old, aspiring author, and a senior in high school. I am looking to adopt a Sphynx. I am allergic to cats, and have always wanted one. My friend has a Sphynx and talks a lot about how docile and, well, amazing the animal is. I currently have a...

I have some concerns for my dear cat. He is not a Sphynx, I've seen a few people ask questions for their furry family members, so I hope it is ok to do something non Sphynx related. My cats name is Gadzooks, or Gadz for short. He is 6 years old, turning 7 this December, and is a domestic long...

My poor baby. It seems like she is always fighting something. When I was giving her a bath I noticed she had a bunch of raw open wounds on her head and on her neck. Moreover she has a load of raised bumps on her body. I'm freaked out and not sure what it could be. I plan on calling the vet...

Hi all! We're new to the site. How do we delete media after we post it? Particularly images. Thanks!

We just just got our sphynx kitten last week. When we got her she had a scab on her back that has gotten bigger and is dry, hard and scaly to touch. It seems to be getting bigger. I brought her to the vet and he was not sure what it was. There is only one but it is the weirdest spot. I have...

Hi so I bought my first Sphinx baby on Saturday and he has been a little sneezy. The breeder told me he just needs time to adjust. Which I expected. So its Thursday now and his nose is really scabby, his one eye is a little swollen and red, and tearing a lot. He is acting completely normal...

so tonight I was cuddling my cat and I felt something odd when I was touching her feet. It was black so I thought she had stepped in poop and it dried up. Nope it was blood because she was crying and when I scraped it away it started to bleed. I have a feeling she may have burned her feet when...

So my cat was healthy until he hit the 1-year mark and I changed his food, after that all the problems began to come, so I started another thread a while ago regarding blood in stool almost always, I changed the food to royal canine hairball and the problem stopped thank god. Now my problem is...

My boy, Beethoven, is about 6 months old. I bathe him at least once a week, maximum every three days, but he always looks dirty. He has brown spots everywhere, and the fur between his eyes and above his nose is an icky brown/green colour. I use a Burts Bees shampoo for kittens and I put olive...

Hi everyone! I adopted a seven month old sphynx cat. I made a huge mistake. I changed his dryfood. Then he get sick. He started to vomit. In my country no one knows about sphynx cat, even the vet. They said he just cold, then they gave him injection. But he still does not eat anything. And he...

Hey Sphynxlair community! I've been getting a couple tips from the site, but this is my first post here! I picked up Dobby in October, and he just turned 4 months the 24th! A friend of mine had a male and a female, and they had kittens, and little Dobs was chosen for me. My friends weren't...

Hello all! I recently lost my beloved sphynx boy (a local rescue) to heart disease that I managed with daily meds but sadly you can't fight genetics forever. My house just doesn't feel like home anymore. I started my search for reputable breeders but I'm just so confused. Many haven't responded...

hey, I've just noticed a lump on my kittens back, she had her second lot of jabs on Wednesday, could this be the cause? It's hard but squishy and doesn't seem to cause any discomfort or pain when we touch or squeeze it. I've uploaded some photos of the lump. Please help, I'm really worried :(...

Hey there! My name is Callie and this is my first post :p I have been researching the wonderful Sphynx breed for about a month now, and have always wanted to adopt a "hairless" kitty since I was 10 (I'm 21 now). I have been talking to a few breeders, and I am weary on the whole process. I live...

So, my kitty Theo has what looks to be ringworm on the back of his neck. :-( It's semi-red and irritated and looks a little rash that covers most of his neck. He's all white and he does get little rashes or irritation marks from time to time and they definitely stand out on his skin. This...
