I am a new sphynx mommy. I got my little guy about 2 weeks ago. He is around 6 months old and I absolutely adore him already! Unfortunately he came with some problems I was unaware of. He has been having diarrhea since I got him. I took him to the vet and found out he has toxoplasmosis, so now I have to give him medicine for a week. Also had a yeast infection in his ears, so he gets drops twice a day for that as well. Poor little guy! But even after getting the yucky medicine he is still bouncing around like a little monkey! I wasn't sure about the vet I brought him to though because he said he doesn't know much about the breed...anyone from the St. Louis area know of a good one?! Thanks so much! :)

I try so hard to get good pics of him but he is just so fast! haha and he hates the flash; his eyes are almost always closed.

Welcome to the lair! Beautiful kitty!
Pictures are hard with sphynx! I have to use the sports shooting button on my camera "running man" when I take most photos of Nofuratu, otherwise he's blurry.
Also if you have a "low light setting" its better than the flash. Mine hates the flash and looks bad with it!!!

Welcome to Sphynx Lair. I'm glad your boy is feeling better. Keeping his ears clean will cut down on the chances of getting another yeast infection. I can't wait to hear more about your boy.
