    Severe Juvenile Onset Breed Related Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

    Hello all, This past Monday night, the 18th, our baby girl Matcha collapsed and seemed to be paralyzed after a stint of playing with her brother. It was absolutely devastating to watch. After about 10 minutes time, she seemed to have walked off the paralysis and was back to acting normal. The...

    Belly Ache

    Busty isn't feeling too well. Last night, he threw up and had diarrhea. Today he hasn't been eating. Sunday was the first day we introduced him to Dunkin and we also did so yesterday. I don't know if maybe Buster ate something or if he's extremely stressed. It's worrying me a lot because I don't...

    My baby has raw cuts and bumps all over her

    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...

    Help! I think Jack is sick

    Jack wasn't quite himself last night. He was very quiet and didn't eat his full dinner. Then this morning he didn't get up for breakfast, so I tried some treats, and he didn't eat those either. He feels warm (more than usual I think) but his temp said 100 F so that's ok. But then I noticed...

    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...

    My sphynx has rashes, please help! :(

    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...

    HELP! My Kitty is Always Sick!!!

    My poor baby ALWAYS seems to be sick and I can't tell if I am being paranoid or she really does get sick. My breeder was very reputable and I had her checked when I got home. A week later I brought her to the vet since she had weepy eyes and was sneezing a lot. They treated her for an ear...

    Vomiting and bloody rectal discharge

    I have been noticing bloody anal discharge from my 5 month old kitten when she poops. I wipe it off every time but it keeps coming back, and I waited to see if it would go away because I thought it may have been her somewhat recent change of diet. It has not gone away yet and recently she has...

    Please help

    Hi there everyone, I'm really new to this but I have a bit of a question about my 4 year old baby Danzig. About a week ago he was heaving and was sick, only thing that came up was some food he had eaten. I would assume if this was a normal cat the heaving would be because of a hairball? But...

    PaulCat is vomiting for no known cause - it won't stop :[

    My 3y/o red sphynx, Paul, has been sick with this mysterious illness for months now. I have seen 3 different vet clinics and ran them each to the point of no solutions except "Maybe it's anxiety" and a long list of negative test results and a pretty hole burnt in my pocket. (It's not anxiety, I...

    Diagnosed w HCM need medication advice

    My two year old sweetheart sphynx just got diagnosed with HCM. It's not too extreme but it's noticeable... Our vet prescribed Lotensin/Benazepril however side effects include kidney damage so I'm hesitant to begin him on it right away. A lot of sphynx owners with babies who also have HCM say...

    6 month old Sphynx Coughing

    Hi, My kitten is coughing and I am not sure what to do. She sounds like she is trying to get up a hair ball but since they are hairless its odd. She doesnt do it all of the time, just about once a day. I heard her cough several times after eating/drinking late last night. Any ideas what...

    Raw Eyelid

    Simba's eye is taking another beating, third time this year. This time it looks weird. I don't know what's wrong with his poor eyes but every few months they inflame and swell.

    2 vet visits & 600 bucks later

    Last week Khaleesi started regurgitating her food after eating wet (wellness core canned original formula) The vomit was a little bit of food, mostly water, and very mucus like. I say regurgitating because it was basically just her, opening her mouth and with out warning or any gagging, vomit...
