Skin Concern

[Olive807]

My 5 month old female has had small circular pigmented spots, on her belly and upper legs. They are not raised, scaling, etc. They do not seem to be bothering her. The only lifestyle change that I could think of is I introduced her to Fancy Feast chicken a couple of months ago, when prior to that all she was eating was Fancy Feast turkey, white fish, and salmon. Could this be a reaction to the chicken or something else? Does this look familiar to anyone?

@Olive807 I tagged catzzzmeow. you can also share pic ask you amazing breeder. ps I had no idea Olive was from her. so neat.
the culprit could be the introduced chicken. are you switching back to what worked before with no issues?
which dr elseys litter are you using? many of us use the unscented in the blue and white ag.

Sphynx Skin Conditions

#1 Food allergies: It is not uncommon for some sphynx to have food allergies. Many studies have shown that certain ingredients contained in cat food are more likely to cause food allergies than others. The most common offenders are chicken, beef, lamb, seafood, corn, soy, wheat gluten and dairy...

You might ask your vet if it is yeast…might be an issue with the litter you are using etc.

@Yoda mom @Catzzzmeow Thank you both for your response. I have stopped with the chicken. I noticed today after bathing her the spots were significantly less. Which says to me there is something there that maybe becomes more prominent, probably with dust and dirt from kicking up the litter. I have attached a picture of the litter that I am using which she’s been using since with the breeder. As well as a pic of her today after the bath. I reached out to my breeder, who seems to think they are dry spots. I am continuing to use the vetericyn spray and if by next week, the spots are not gone I will be taking her to the vet. I hope I’m doing the right things! Thanks for sending that link. I will check it out.

Let us know what the vet has to say, your info can help others in the future. That’s great once bathed those spots are gone…so might just be from cleansing/wax and simply dust/dirt attaching. Dr. Elyse’s is a good litter
