Hi folks,

Brand new member and Sphynx mum. We brought Ghost home yesterday, her vax passport says she was born on 14/5 but she is just so tiny. She fits onto my hand and weighs so little. I found the recipe for kitten gloop on this site, thank you! She's been eating it well (much to her much larger friend sybil's dismay!).
I'll be booking her in for a vet check ASAP to confirm all is well. No physical health issues we've noticed barring being a little shakey at times. Any support with this little one greatly appreciated!

Oh she does look really small:( hopefully no health issues and was just underfed. Please keep us updated with the vets glad to see she’s eating

I am happy you are booking a vet check ASAP. Be sure to bring a pop sample to your appointment. I would tell them you have concerns on how underweight she is so they can get you in quickly. Keep us updated on your cute little baby. @RachelEdge

Hello and welcome to you and little Ghost. Definitely a good idea to get her health checked as a precaution. Here's hoping she goes from strength to strength xx

Update *

All is well! Vet checks shows she was clearly underfed, but has rounded even in a few days after some high call kitten glop! Loads more energy and more playful, so wonderful to see. Thank you for the support

So happy to see this update! Keep thriving little one.
