skin condition

Hello! I'm new here and have just registered for the express purpose of finding some answers to a puzzling condition my kitty has been having. Within the last year, my Sphynx Hans-Peter, has started having very bad allergies. My vet referred me to a specialist and I have been seeing a pet...

Poor thing is having a string of bad luck like you wouldn't believe lately! She finally started to come around after a few days; was getting back to her old self and then I noticed two spots on the back of her neck, the pigmentation was off. Waited a day and then decided to give her a bath...

Hello everyone, I’m a fairly new sphynx owner, but not a new cat owner. In about the last week my 10mo sphynx Cynder has developed a rash on the top of her head and back of her neck. It’s tiny bumps that are her skin colour and sometimes pink. There are some on her head that are a bit scabby...

Hey there, I've been lurking for some time after just recently acquiring two sphynx. One in particular seem's to have really bad skin, just on his back - it's dry, peels sometimes, and darker than his normal coloring I've taken him to three vets and all have just told me to put coconut oil on...

I've posted this before but it seems the marks on my little one isn't getting any better. I've changed litter and food and also reversed back to everything she had as a kitten to see if it is an allergy but it seems nothing has improved. I've attached some photographs below. Do you think it's...

Hi all, Hope you and your sphynxs' are all well! :) Anyone have an idea to what this may be? Noticed these spots coming up under her arm, it's kind of on the skin fold joint. Recently been putting her in clothes as the weather is turning cold! I haven't changed anythinf in her diet or do I...

I can't find my Post from several days ago. I'm a new sphynx mama to Pharoah. He is about 4 years old. I emailed a breeder asking what is going on with his coat and she said ringworm. I have three Young children and no money for a vet. All input appreciated tremendously, and thanks you to the...

Hi all One of my Sphynx cats has develop a skin condition. He is 11 years old. I have had him at the vet for numerous tests from Cancer Scans to Skin Biopsies. The cancer scans were negative and the skin biopsies did not reveal anything. Both my cats are indoor cats and do not go outside. Does...
