Hi all! My name is Gina, and I have a 5 month old Sphynx kitten named Bagheera.
He's a very energetic, playful, and loving kitten. He's had all of his shots, and is set to be neutered in the upcoming month. I have had no concerns about his health until this previous week.
I noticed red bumps and dark marks showing on his arm pit, shortly after, the same problem started happening under his other arm pit. Just a few days ago, I noticed a bubble-like appearance on his lower belly as well.
This first image was a bubble a few days ago, and has since turned into a scab of sorts.
These rashes under his arms were red and bumpy, but with Neosporin, the red bumps have gone away. The dark part is still very dark and noticeable.
I sent his stool to get sampled for a bacterial infection, and waiting on the results. He's been to the vet twice for checkups and shots, most recently about a month ago. I'm also planning on taking him to the vet about these skin issues, but I wanted to know if anyone had any insight. I can't seem to find either of these problems experienced by other Sphynx owners online. I'm nervous about my baby, and overwhelmed as to why this is happening to him! I clean him weekly, feed him well, and take very good care of him.
Any input/experience with these issues? Thank you!
