@srkdvmmom , I love the duoxo products too. I keep the Duoxo mousse on hand. my adoptees Hate full baths and are seniors now. I use trizultra w/keto for weekly wipe downs wetted on swissper cotton sqaures. my vet got me hooked on trizultra to clean ears over 15 yrs ago with my pups and kitties to wippe out ears, i don't flush ears. On my crews vet visits my vet always comments they have the cleanest ears she has seen all day :)
. it's labelled as a skin flush too so use it for wipe downs. I use every where except faces, I use it too to wipe around nail beds. It really gets the brown off armpits, bellies, chines, necks, tails bums.
can you share a pic of the Seborrrhea and Calm Shampoo? helpful to all of us.
hugs n head smooches

I do like the Triz products. I only use them on situations where there is actual infection control needed or tendency toward infection. Since the Sphynx is oil and skin cell debris build up, Triz, especially with an antifungal, seems like overkill. If someone's cat does have issues with yeast, that is different. But, there is a common misconception that the frito type odor is always yeast- this is not true. It is primarily caused by the rancid body oils and skin debris. Yes, there are organisms more likely to live there, but only as hitchhikers and typically gone with a bath to remove the debris.
I like the Douxo Micellar Solution for ears and toes. Use that on cotton rounds or cotton balls. Only flush the ears after a bath to ensure no water remains.
When I got Squishy, he needed baths every 2-4 weeks. I could tell when he needed bath, based on the yellow tint on skin, leaving smudges where he lay, the rancid oil odor, and my allergies would start to flare. Using the seborrhea formula, he only needs a full bath every couple of months. I think he went almost 4 months most recently. His skin looks great. The seborrhea formula is gentle, and is made to dissolve the oil/skin cell build up without overly stripping skin. Squishy now has a very nice balance.
I did find some pet wipes I like to do ears and toes between baths also, if I just need a real quick cleanup.

Please tell us, what product do you use to give your sphynx a bath.
Okay, glad it’s not just me experiencing it! I even rinse her multiple times thinking maybe im just leaving residue on her but still nothing. Comforting to know I’m not a bad cat mom and everyone’s Sphynxies get dirty fast lol

I just looked it up! Good old canadian tire. I will.look for it. I have been using 3:1 mix of palmolive and hydrogen peroxide. Works wonders on synthetic fabrics, carpet stains and sheets that have been sphynxed

My favorite for wipe downs for my senior spay day haters Trizultra w/keto wetted on swissper rectangular pads for body , ears, nails ****not on face*
really gets the brown off armpits, necks, tummies, bums. I find on sale on line and my vets office carries it . she got me hooked on nearly 20 yrs ago for ear cleaning. it is dual purpose as a skin flush so I use it for wipe downs.
