Hey hello,
I have had my rescued sphynx Mozy for about a week now. He is settling great, really acting like a cat, running around playing and of course lots and lots of cuddles. He is very clumsy, is that a normal sphynx thing? Haha, any who for the real questions.
He has been scratching his head and neck which is resulting in scratches and some pretty deep. Is this a skin irritation or is it time to trim the nails?
He has also been starting to get an appeite but it still isn't as much as I expected. I had to mix a bag of natural balance wet food with a little less then a cup of natural balance dry food to get him to eat. Now he can eat dry food fine but I mix the two from time to time. He rarely finishes his meal in a day. Is he still warming up to the place, slowly getting his apetite back? Also, he eats the most at night.
Today I noticed a small amount of brown crust around the opening of his penis. I have him a wee wash down, and tried to wipe it off. He isn't bothered when I wipe at it and try and clean it. But it isn't coming off easily. What is this?
On the same note, could it be a uti? He has been eating better, and I hear him drink his water mostly at night. But I don't know if he is urinating. I have a mixture of clump and nonclump kitty litter in his box now and I have been scooping poops, and I hear him scratching away in it. He doesn't spend lots of time in the box, and is not going frequently. So, I'm wondering if because of the mixture the pee isn't clumping well, and/or it is clumping with his pooh. He doesn't seem to be in any discomfort.
Well, there is my question rant of a concerned mother.
Thank you,
Much love,
Xoxo
