Why do you use coconut oil? I just Johnson and Johnson's baby shampoo- should I use coconut oil too? I'm a new momma... Thanks
Hi i just got my first sphynx a couple months ago and a his toes are very dirty. When i wash him the soap doesnt seem to do the job is there anything you guys use mabey before bathing or a certain soap, right now i use a soap i got from the vet
Coconut oil breaks down the toughest sphynx grime on the body. I use just a tiny bit on her bottom and the poo just rubs right off. On her toes is the same, I use just a tiny bit right before bath to break up the grime on her toes.
You have to make sure to get it all off and it is a bit greasy, because if you leave any on, it will attract dirt
I found that out the hard way when I first started using it. The less the better with this stuff in my opinion
Elvira hates having her toes done. Unless I use "my nail stuff" like the orange stick and believe it or not the nail file. I use the orange stick to pry off as much of the "big gunk chunks" as I can, and then use the file to scrape off the rest.
If I use cotton balls or Q tips she howls and yowls and you'd think I was killing her.
But no, the same stuff I use on my nails and cuticles she likes so I bought her own stuff so I don't have to worry about her getting bacteria or germs from my fingernails!!!
Elvira, you get cuter and cuter with every post I read about you!!
Oh the glamor of owning an exotic breed!
Lenore usually doesn't get that dirty all over, but her toes are HORRIBLE. I swear the more I clean them, the dirtier they get! Her biggest problem is that she's so contrary, she KNOWS how mad it makes me when I finish cleaning her toes and she runs directly to the litter box with damp feet! She does it every time and there's no way to stop her, so I try and dry them as best I can before I release her from the torture rack (a towel which is synonymous with evil mean death trap).
Do you use the hooded baby type towels for Miss Lenore?
Elvira finds them to be very comforting during her post-bath pout.
