@Kphelan02 Can your vet refer you to a vet university or a specialist ? I checked and saw the other threads were older
Hopefully they will chime in

Hi everyone, it has been a while since I posted but I do have updates. Jinkx still has red swirls so we are back to square one. I found a vet who works with Sphynx cats who has agreed to fix her so we will see if the issue is hormonal. Additionally, she caught that Jinkx has entropion in both eyes (symptoms were squinting, watery/goopy eyes/rubbing at the eyes) so she is on meds for that and seems to be feeling a lot better! I take her to an opthamologist in a couple of weeks to see what she is thinking in terms of surgery.

I will definitely keep folks updated. Her first vet missed it for the first couple months but the new vet asked to look at her eyes within a couple seconds of meeting her. Since they have tiny eyelashes its hard to catch, and can go unnoticed until they ulcer. Luckily she has no ulcering right now and antibiotic eye drops paired with lubricating drops seem to have her feeling good. I always just thought she was cleaning her eyes but apparently she was having pain and rubbing them because they hurt :(

@Kphelan02 so glad you dropped in to update on sweet Jinkx
It will also help other members to have their vets check for entropian or ectropian and ask for s check of it ..

All paws crossed for Jinkx

Be sure to share eith vet NO ketsmine anesthesia ..glad you found a sphynx expereimced vet
( they are probably well aware of no Ketamine .. I still have them mark the chart as such)

Curious what eye meds and lubricating drops to see if it is the same thst worked wonderful for my boy

Hugs n hesd smooches

Hi everyone,

I hope you all are well!

I have a 6 months old kitten and it looks like she has similar rings on her skin.. We went to the vet and he sent the sample for checking if there is a overgrowth of any bacteria but they didn't find anything. He prescribed her Noroclav antibiotic and she is on it for 6 days now but her skin is looking worse than before.. Could you please update me if it was hormonal and fixing her helped??

Please see attached photos!

Thank you very much in advance! )(
