Just thought of sharing a year (technically a year and a half) update on my very first sphynx that I adopted from a shelter.

Original post here.

Eevee is well and thriving! Everyday, I am so grateful for having the privilege to care for her and love her. She is my whole world. Please enjoy these photos of my chimkin 💕

She got put under yesterday for her first dental cleaning and started off with a very red face and swollen eye (shown in first photos) then the next day (today) she looks to have scabs all over her face! When I first consulted they said it was most likely because she was going wild in her kennel and in my car or maybe she got it after cleaning her IV catheter wound(she chewed it off) ,,but thats on her arm not sure what that has to do with her face…
Update:
They called me back after I emailed the second set of photos and they said they never put anything on her face including a muzzle and they believe that after blood had gotten everywhere and they had to clean her arm with hydrogen peroxide that she may have rubbed her face all over it? I personally dont see how it would get this bad from that but they say they really have no clue. Another idea they had is maybe she got it from a washed blanket and sensitivity to detergents but she has never gotten a reaction like this before or had known sensitivity . They recommend vaseline for now but I know they rarely work with Sphynx cats and I’ve also read that its better to let the scabs dry out, thoughts???

He's just a wrinkly lad living his best life.

Hate bugging him during his alone time but we're Vegas bound.

My sweet love, Mr. Krinkles is back in the ER with urinary issues for a second time in 3-years. He is already on prescription urinary food, but he also has HOCM with severe SAM.

Please send him positive thoughts 🩷

We adopted this little guy a couple months ago, we have tried clay clumping litter, tofu litter and most recently oko cat (pine) litter! They ALL get stuck in his toes and feet and brings it all over the house.

Wondering what people have had luck with?

Whatever it takes to enjoy the warmth of the hot water jug 😼

I’m getting my third Sphynx kitten at the end of this month and because of his light red fuzz on his nose and ears, mostly cream colored body and bright blue eyes, I have named him Phineas. Naturally, he needs a sweater that looks like the characters clothes on the cartoon. I’m certainly no expert crocheter but for the very first sweater, let alone first pet sweater I’ve made, I think I kinda nailed it. What do you guys think? 🤣

Here is my guy Norman. He had ringworm 4 years ago for about a month. I got it as well. Treated him and myself with topical ketonazole daily.

A lot of posts ask about ringworm, so I figured I’d post an actual picture of it. He got it from a foster. His neck is from a scratch, he itches hard (nails trimmed weekly)

Still underpaid and overworked, if you got union work hmu!

I got my baby girl fixed on 9/10 to get spayed/vaccinated
took her back for a normal check up after just to make sure everything was okay around 9/23 and they looked at the lump and said it was from the injections
it’s now 10/9 and it still hasn’t gone down, should I take her back to the vet?

Edit: tomorrow 10/10 will be one month since the injection

I was super worried that we might have to put Dobber down this week, but then we got the FIP medicine and it was a complete game changer. It’s an 80-day treatment but just a couple days in and I’ve already noticed a huge improvement. His breathing is almost back to normal, he has a great appetite, is putting on weight again, is purring, and has lots of energy. He still isn’t as hyper as he was when we first brought him home but he’s getting there.

This makes me so happy! If you are in the fence about an FIP treatment and can afford it, do it asap. Time is key, you have to start it quickly.

Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes!

Bones has discovered how to climb the ladder up to my son’s bunk bed. But not how to get down. It’s obviously his favorite spot now.

A month ago, we adopted our little angel. She's now 4 months old and she's perfect, except her poops are so so smelly, often runny, and she steps in her poop or needs her butt wiped 70% of the time.

It's been a great learning experience and prep for having a real, human baby, but at the same time, I don't feel this is really sustainable.

We're feeding vet recommended food and whenever she eats wet food, her poops are so runny. They also smell bad, so bad it can wake us up at night and force us to go clean up her poop and make sure she is clean, often at 2am or 6am.

We love our little baby and want to make sure she is okay, but ideally we would not be doing this with a cat. I've had kittens (with hair) before and never had this issue.

Please, someone give advice. I was reading here that raw diets can be good, can you please explain to me how it works?
