Our sphynx keeps getting a bumpy rash under his armpits, legs, back of the neck and sometimes on his ankles and face, sometimes it's just bumpy, sometimes the bumps look red, and when parts of it start to heal it turns to little dark grey spots. At the moment, there's a bit of everything!
We got him from his previous owner when he was about 4 months old, before this he never had a rash, and his previous owner fed him Sheba. He's just turned 1 and has had this rash on and off in the time since we've had him.
Our vet only has one other sphynx so looking for a bit of advice from owners.
Has anyone else seen this before?
He is on Sheba still, we are using non-bio detergent and his litter is wood pellets.
I've attached some pictures of the rash, although it's currently not as bad as it has been before. It never seems to bother him, he's a happy kitty and doesn't really tend to scratch it, so I don't think it irritates him.
He has had steroid injections and antibiotics, which clear the rash up temporarily but as soon as he has finished them it starts to come back!
Thanks in advance!
