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...

    Vet in the Brisbane area.

    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...

    Kibble Suggestions / Rant

    Back to needing a new kibble, all because of the vet suggested food. So, Astrid has lost the weight she had to use, so the vet (different than the one I normally see, this one is the cat-specific one) suggested I feed a Science Diet dental care t/d along with the RC calorie control... I told...

    Hi guys, I am leaning on my Sphynx Family for help! Last night, Tut began sneezing. Its way too much for my liking but i don't know if i am just a concerned momma.

    Vet in NYC area for tooth extraction

    Hi! Ellibelly came to me with broken upper canines from the home she was seized from (unfortunately she is a rescue with a very sad backstory :unsure: ) - at the time the vet said to leave them be until they got worse/started giving her trouble, and at her last check up he thought that they...

    Medication and Other Treatments

    Hi! Just curious as to what medicines and other health related things (i.e vaccinations, anaesthetic, etc.) that everybody allows or doesn't allow to be used on their babies? I am just making up a health record for the vet that writes everything out on one page and thought I would add on...

    San Antonio, Texas ... Looking for a reputable vet!

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a good, reputable vet for my sphynx here in San Antonio. I'm having the hardest time finding a vet that knows about sphynx specific care...but also a vet that doesn't overcharge and try to sell you products you don't need.

    Pet insurance- do you have it?

    I don't know if I really need kitten insurance but I wanted to ask the pros LOL. Do you have it? Would you suggest it? What plans are best? I've been doing a lot of reading but I'm still not sure. Especially when there is no routine coverage.... that seems silly to me. Help!

    Found Good Vet in Puget Sound!

    Hey all, Completely by serendipity, I think I've found a good vet in the slightly-south-of-Seattle area. I got a coupon in this month's valpak envelope for South Seattle Veterinary Hospital. I figured since Missy and I will be traveling soon, I might as well get her an annual checkup and shots...

    Pet insurance

    Of course I'd think of this as I'm about to leave town ... After losing my sweet girl to severe heart issues just before Christmas, I'm hoping to adopt a hairless baby either later this year or sometime next year. Because of the cost from her heart issues (more than $2,000 last year alone)...

Now my problem is...

    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...

    Hi guys my 1 and a half year old girl has recently come up randomly with these spots on her face which seem to look like freckles, the aren't raised and don't seem to be a bother as of yet but I am hoping to find a skin specialist that might be able to address the issue.

    Rectal prolapse in kitten? (picture)

    I picked up my kitten Giza about two weeks ago. At first he was shy, and timid, but now his true personality has shown. He is very mischievous, loving, and intelligent. One thing I noticed the day after we got Giza is that after he used the bathroom there was a small red bump on his rectum. I...

    Yesterday I took Bill to get fixed. We have not been going to this vet long but it was " a so far so good" situation. Anyway, yesterday we picked him up after surgery n they said he was grouchy while they tried to give him pain meds so they sent it home with us. Well on the way home I notice...

    Any recommended vets in Victoria, British Columbia? One closer to Langford would be preferable, as my baby gets car sick. :)

    NE Florida/SE Georgia Vet

    After dealing with a disaster of a vet for my first cat, I knew I needed a different vet for both my hairball and my sphynx. On a recommendation, I brought them to a vet in Jacksonville - where I was told that my sphynx had a raging heart murmur and would need to see a cardiologist (she hadn't...

    Hateful Vet because of breed?

    So my baby had been acting weird and was peeing outside the litter box and I also noticed blood in her pee, so I took her to a local vet to get her checked out. The vet told me that she had a UTI, and that she also has a heart murmur. But after telling me that, the vet went on a thirty minute...

    Happy mum!

    This is most likely a pointless post but I just needed to share how over the moon I am! As some of you may know I was really scared about having my prince neutered! After many phone calls I found a vet that dos not use ketamine, of course, like any mum, I was still very worried, I pulled up to...
