vet

I’ve noticed this bump on Percy’s right side has been sticking out and is more noticeable than his left. When I touch it it just feels like muscle but I wanted to see if anyone thinks I should take him to the vet. It’s hard to take a picture but you can definitely see it when he’s walking around.

i’m really worried and waiting for my vet appointment this tuesday. I’m at a loss for what it could be. I haven’t changed their diet, they have been on Purina Gastro dry food for a long time and i haven’t changed or added anything to their food. no extra stress or change to their environment...

Looking for advice The last couple days my 3 year old sphynx has been excessively drooling. I woke up with a huge wet spot in my bed this morning from him sleeping next to me. It isnt just when he sleeps either. I checked his mouth and teeth and everything looks normal, he didnt show any...

Hi guys! My 14 week old kitten just received his final FVRCP vaccination (3/3). He was given all 3 by the cattery he came from- the vet recommended he give him another one as he isn’t sure that the cattery was able to keep the vaccines at a proper temperature which would cause the vaccines to be...

Hi Sphynx fam, We picked up our kittens, Ume and Momo in April, and within a week Momo the calico showed symptoms of a URI: puff breathing, loud congested breathing, excessive sneezing and snot. I took her to the emergency vet one night and they prescribed an antibiotic. It didn’t work. Then I...

Hi I just got a baby boy he’s 3 months and I’m wondering if anyone had any vet recommendations in New Jersey specifically in south orange or surrounding areas within 30 mins or so. Thank you!

Hi everyone :-) My 8 year old sphynx girl will be undergoing a teeth extraction soon and I’m worried as hell about the anesthesia. I have been reading everything in here about avoiding ketamine and which other options to suggest to my vet. However I can’t seem to find anything about the...

So I noticed our little boy was showing symptoms of ear mites. Took him to the vets and they inspected and confirmed it. I just don’t understand how he could’ve got them? He’s an indoor cat, with no other animals in the house. He came from a fab breeder, who’s sphinxes are indoor and none of his...

Wybie and I are on the move again! I was wondering if anyone had any vet recommendations in the DC / DMV area? :) thank you!

Hi all! I'm moving to Maryland and need a vet! Do any of you have any recommendations of vets with experience with sphynxes? Also looking for a cardiologist - he'll need his HCM scan when I go! Thanks! Becca

Hello, I live in NYC and have 3 hairless cats. I'm looking for a vet near me at has experience with hairless cats. I've been going to a vet in crown heights for about 3 years, but they don't know much about hairless cats. My bambino has a skin rash and other health issues. I've gone multiple...

Hello, everyone! As some of you may have heard, my 13 week old kitten, Fig, is sick, and so far, the vet I'm seeing hasn't been of much help. I live around Appleton, Wisconsin and was wondering if any of you lovely people know of a vet in the area that has experience with the Sphynx breed. The...

Hi! I posted before and hope it's okay that I'm posting again -- does anyone have any vet recommendations in the Boston area? I have a car and am willing to drive. I found an older thread on this and someone said Shawsheen Hospital in Tewksbury, and another said a vet in Tewksbury but did not...

Last Saturday our sweet Atticus was frantically trying to pee but couldn't. We immediately took him to the vet where they emptied his bladder and tried to massage the blockage out by hand. Unfortunately, this did not work. We transferred him to a 24-hour vet and had a catheter put in. Three...

I just have a few questions as a first time mom! 1. Is there ANY air freshener that is non-toxic to these babies? 2. Currently he is being free fed solid gold grain free high protein so he has food throughout the day and then is being given 2x a day Darwin’s natural pet food raw chicken. Is...

I live in Northern Illinois near the Iowa border and I need to find a vet who actually know Sphynx cats... anyone live in my neck of the woods who can point me in the right direction. If it helps I live in the Whiteside/Carroll County area in Illinois. Asap. THANKS Cate and Dobs.

Hey guys! Does anyone have any vets in/around Brisbane (Australia) with sphynx experience that they would recommend? We live right near the CBD so the more central the better. Our gotcha day is Saturday (!!!!!) and I am so excited getting everything ready! On a side note, we are bringing home...

What used to be the occasional eye booger seems to have increased for our girl recently. I am now cleaning out discharge from her eyes at least twice a day... and initially I thought maybe just allergies were getting to her, but the discharge has gotten less "black" as it dries (which I think is...

Hello! My name is Jen and I am a new member here. I am curious as to how much food you would typically feed your sphynx cats? A little back story: I became a new sphynx mom to sisters Peaches & June back in late August 2017. They will be a year old May 31st this year. Yesterday we had a routine...

I know it’s a long shot since most of the members here are US based but I was wondering if any of the Scottish members, particularly Glasgow based could recommend a vet that has experience with sphynx cats? Otherwise, does anyone have an advice if I end up having to go to a vet without...

Good morning, I would like to recommend Dr. Ervin Harxhi at Stone Church Animal Clinic in Hamilton, Ontario. I had a wonderful experience with my sphynx here, right off the bat he started by asking us if we had any questions for him before he even started his exam with our baby (which of course...

My Toulouse is 5 months. I adopted him neutered. He was fantastic no litter issues. In November he got a URI was put on meds. Cleared up. The end of November we went on vacation. I has people come to the house so he wouldn’t get lonely. We got back and found that he had been peeing in my...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give you all an update of Merlin and Tansy. Both kittens have been doing great, except that on Sunday we noticed Merlin had a sizable lump on his tail. Feeling it, it was hard and I guessed some sort of fracture or maybe a hard abscess. Hubby took him to the vet...

Hey all, I'm finally getting my first sphynx kitten on Sunday and am beyond excited. I want to get him checked by a vet during the 72 hour agreement.The breeder said he will already be up to date on all his shots but I will also have to get the rabies shot (required by my state's law). What do...

Hey guys I have started doing some research into vets in Brisbane that specialise in cats and potentially Sphynxs or at least have prior experience and was wondering if any of the Australian members knew of any good vets. I am not opposed to driving to get to the vet but would prefer it closer...
