My daughter has come down chicken pox. I've read that cats and dogs cannot get it but are our felines (Sphynx) more vunerable to the virus?

But it is so much better and safer to get them when young rather than an adult...it can be quite dangerous, even fatal in some cases for adults. Hope she recovers quickly! holly_savage, May 24, 2010 #8 JinxloverGuestSphynx Bucks: $Ratings:+0 YUCK!!! Hope she is better soon.. Jinxlover, May 24, 2010 #9 ckutkuhn7BannedJoined:Jan 16, 2010Messages:5,191Likes Received:2,873Sphynx Bucks: $43.00Ratings:+2,877 Thanks for all the well wishes. I was pretty sure she couldn't give them to pets as I had researched it online and usually human virus's are just that and not given to animals! The evil step mom was trying to sway me tho. Her sister is a nurse (apparently NOT A GOOD ONE) and the step mom seems to think she can walk on water and knows everything so whatever. Its a pretty bad case, my daughter who is 13 has them in her mouth and throat, on her scalp, on the edges of her eyes and inside her nose and ears and EVERYWHERE ELSE! Even the unmentionable places. I feel so bad for her,,i wish there was more I could do. I remember getting them as a child and it was just awful. I had them on easter of all days. lol She is pretty happy she doesnt have to finish the school year out but she is dying staying in bed all day. Keep praying for her, she is having a rough time with them. Thanks again everyone! ckutkuhn7, May 24, 2010 #10 GadzukzV.I.P Lairian V.I.P LairianJoined:Dec 2, 2009Messages:1,753Likes Received:1,219Sphynx Bucks: $36.00Ratings:+1,219 Aww, your poor little girl!

She is on day 3 now, she is miserable. I've never seen pox get so close to the eyes!!! She has a few right on her eye lashes where it connects to her bottom eye lid. Its just awful. I got them really bad as a child as well, looks like she is in for a rough few more days. ckutkuhn7, May 25, 2010 #13 MissMySphynxBoysGold Lairian Notable MemberJoined:May 13, 2010Messages:3,509Likes Received:2,256Sphynx Bucks: $502.00Ratings:+2,259 Oh the poor dear sounds likes she is having an awful bout of it.
