Hi,
I have a 5 month old boy. We have recently relocated interstate and my boy has come down with something. He has been in contact with my sisters devonrex cat, who is fully vaccinated and also indoor cat only. When we first moved here (2 weeks ago), he was energetic and played a lot with my sisters cat. The past couple of days he has had very little energy, sleeping most of the day and all night. He seems very lethargic and is not eating as much as he normally would. I am so worried.
I noticed this morning that he has some sores around his mouth too, I thought it was dried food but when I wiped it off it started bleeding. I (stupidly) used human facial wipes to wipe his ears and mouth the other day so I thought that maybe it could be a reaction from this, but still does not explain his extreme lethargy.
I thought it could be cat flu, but he is not sneezing at all. He does seem to have a little more eye goo than usual.
If anyone has any advice on how to care for a sick sphynx or has experienced something similar I would love some information. I can't take him to a vet for a few days until I get paid.
Thanks
