Hi all.
Please can you advise?
My wife and daughter are cat breeders (Siamese and Sphynx) and also show them.
We have a Sphynx queen (Tuppence..aka..The Tupp/fireplace goddess), recently nuetered approx 12 months?
We have recently observed that she is starting to grow 'bum-fluff'...(forgive crass explanation) stubble around her base of tail and back legs (bi-laterlly).
History.
1. Has had her first litter (and only) about a year ago, (7 kittens, successfully re-homed and are very health).
2. Our vet detected and we became aware of apparent of HCM issue, possibly via her father?
3. My wife and daughter take her to cat shows and judges have commented on the 'stubble', to her hind quarters.
4. She was at earliest, nuetered as the family decided after a lengthy discussion with our vet that her health was more important than breeding, rather than pass it on any future litters.
5. Currently she is in great health, becoming a 'fireplace goddess', as we have 3 open fireplaces.
Questions.
1. Is this hormonal, due to neutering?
2. Would Hormone treatment help?
Conclusion.
Please forgive my lack of 'grammar and precis ability', as l prefer an 'oral' approach..and..this my second attempt at ever posting.
Cheers and thanks
