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...

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...

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...

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’...

These patches appeared on my 11 month old male overnight. They are rough like a scab but not colored like one. No changes in his diet, environment, or shampoos. He is eating and drinking normal and is energetic and seems healthy other than the patches. He has a vet appointment in a few weeks...

Disclaimer: I'm a pre-med so "too many details" may follow. Hi everyone! I've been tracking a skin problem with my ~4 year old Sphynx. But I haven't found a single spot that looks like hers anywhere online so I'm happy to hopefully contribute informative info once we get this solved. I haven't...

Hi this is Juno she’s my 7month old Sphinx! Recently she got these spots on her arms and chest and it seems a bit flakey. I don’t know if she spends the day sunbathing when I’m at work but could that be it ? She has a vet appointment but do you guys have any home remedies ? Should I try a warm...
