skin

Hi all! Chickpea has developed some dry skin and discoloration on his belly. This is right after a bath with exfoliating scrubs. I tried to use coconut oil but it made it worse??? Any recommendations??

I just picked up my babes yesterday and they are sweet and loving. My little girls coloring was different than I was expecting (she was grey with dark tabby stripes) and the breeder said it was just the way it evolved and it patchy darkened. But she’s not smooth and peachy like my boy, or my...

Hello everyone! Abel is my 1,5 year old sphynx that developed some spots around his chest/ right arm a few months ago.. since then it didn’t spread. I already went to the vet and they can’t tell me what it is exactly. They gave me a corticosteroid gel but it doesn’t help. Does any of you know...

Hello! My Sphynx is bicolor but his skin recently started changing, he’s been on the same food his whole life but all of a sudden he’s been getting sun spots all over and dark pigmentation all over his sides of his bell and some of his back. Does anyone know why this would change? I’m posting...

I have had this Sphynx kitten, Pablo, for 11 days, (hes 3 months and 11 days) on the 8th day we had a vet appointment for his 2nd vaccine, the vet also did the Rabies vaccine. When I was home about 20 mins later, I noticed all these bumps. I wrote the Vet and he said it could be from plants, but...

I have a 5 yo rescued sphynx who I’m 90% sure was let outside consistently by the previous owner. When we got Freddy Krueger, he had severe yeast build up and very, very dry skin. This was 2 years ago. I am a veterinary technician, and have spent the last 2 years with many dermatologist visits...

Hey guys my lil Dobby has today come up in a rash, no change in food over the last few days or litter etc and I’m not sure what else to think of, he’s booked in at the vets in two weeks for a check up anyways as that’s the soonest appointment but I’m wondering if you think you know what this...

I noticed my sphynx has a sore on her stomach does anyone know what it could be?

Hello community! I know the vet is the better adviser here, but I feel desperate after the first visit. Ellie had a scratch/wand on her back paw, when she arrived, and this doesn’t heal for more than a month. The breeder assured me there was no trauma, and the wand originally looked like a burn...

Bean is still under a year and he recently got a little circular scabby “rash” looking spot… I washed all his bedding and it went away or so we thought From time to time he’ll get the same looking thing on his paw, leg, forearm but its never spread or seemed to bother him- mostly upset me bc...

Im sort of freaking out for my cat!! He’s a rescue and we’re trying our best as we’ve never owned a sphinx but lots of experience with cats. It’s on both of his front legs. Right is bigger than left. I’m fearful for ringworm or soemthing that could be transmitted to humans but it doesn’t look...

Hey Igor’s dad here, he’s been doing better with eating I’m still figuring out what food is best for him. He seems to really enjoy Wellness Gravies Fish variety, it’s the most I’ve seen him eat since the first day when he threw up. Now he has some new blemishes popping up, could this be a food...

Hey all! Hazel has been licking away at this area on her leg for the last week and a half. The vet is coming on the weekend but I worry that it’s ringworm. The area is quite dry and when she licks it the wounds become more red. Could it be an allergy? Thanks!

Hello everyone! Having checked the similar posts I'm still unsure if this is a burn, which I first suspected to be. The spot appeared yesterday out of the blue. But today it's kinda peeling off and I noticed 2 other smaller spots on the back. My other guess is allergy or maybe even skin fungal...

Hi all my baby Juno is two years old she a month or two ago started having this weird rash on her chest and neck and legs. It’s not raised and or bumpy or dry or flakey, or red or open. she does not over groom spots and she does not seem in any distress and is eating and drinking just the same...

Hello everyone! I have two little ones (Abu and Jasmine). Abu is covered in black peach fuzz, and Jasmine is a Peterbald. Abu has developed a discoloration on his under belly that I am unsure of what the cause would be. I had taken him to the vet a month ago regarding this issue and they gave...

Confused! We have 2 sets of babies right now I have always fed the moms blue buffalo basics skin and stomach because my 1 mama was allergic to chicken and grain since feeding have had no issues I couldn’t find the cat food anywhere so I tried instinct limited “turkey” kittens busted out with...

Hi! I rescued my little girl about a month ago. I read up on things I had to do to keep her skin healthy but I think I’ve messed up!! As you can see in the photo she’s got a “rash” it doesn’t seem to hurt her but it is flaking and I’m worried I’ve hurt her skin unintentionally. I’ve been using...

Hello dear Sphynxlairs ! I try searched in the forum but i didnt find any similar content so please for your attention. My cat has serious skin problem which seems like its grouning up! I was worried about some blackeads around my cats eyes so I visit an year ago the vet who said its just a...

My Tut is is almost 2 1/2 and has always struggled with skin issues. Mostly his neck and feet (the vet thinks it’s yeast) we have tried everything to no avail. Creams, shampoos, etc with the help of our vet. His skin isn’t horrible but it’s still a problem. We use Vetericyn when the redness...

Hi everyone, I’m looking at getting my current sphynx/Devon mix a lifelong friend and recently saw this ad of a local sphynx pop up. She’s 2 years old and very adorable. I noticed the obvious discolouration on the skin and asked the owner what they were. They claim they’re just spots where...

My female sphynx (4.5 mo) has been experiencing ongoing skin issues for the last month and a half. She was originally on Royal canin kitten food and after this started happening we switched her on a limited protein fish diet, but it didn’t seem to help. She’s been to the vet and he’s given her...

I know the topic of Sphynx, the sun, skin discolouration comes up a lot but I haven’t seen this exact question. Does anyone’s Sphynx get a tan in the sunnier/warmer months? It has recently transitioned to becoming very sunny and warm where I live and my 18mo Sphynx has developed slight ‘tan’...

Hi everyone, ive just recently joined and this is my very first post. I have a 6 months old Sphynx who has just recently started getting these dark spots on her skin and it doesn’t seem to go away. Ive consulted a vet and since they dont know much abt the breed they just decided to try and see...
