    I want a Sphynx need advice!!!

    I don't have specific color I want, It will go based off of the vibe I get from a breeder when I choose a breeder.

    I want a Sphynx need advice!!!

    I have done quite a bit of research on the breed through the years even more so as of lately. I understand they do need to be bathed weekly due to the oils in their skin as well as weekly ear cleanings. I also do not mind at all doing the work!! I am an avid animal lover and there is honestly...

    I haven't been able to get them to eat

    I haven't been able to get them to eat

    They are both gone!! They both stopped breathing almost simultaneously! They would have never made it through that long drive to the vet. All she could say to do was make them as comfortable as possible until they passed. I made sure they were warm and petted them and said I was so sorry for...

    I haven't been able to get them to eat

    they are being bottle fed and did great on it till 3 am. I called and spoke to a Vet at the ER and was sadly informed not to bring them in. She said they more than likely either have pnemonia, or being they were born to a stray could very possibly have distemper,FeLV,FIV or numerous other...

    I brought home the fosters and one died tonight

    How do You know if they burp? I tried checking youtube and saw some wrong ways to bottle feed and silly burps but nothing real. Do they actually make noise burping at such a young age?

    I sent the woman an email this AM letting her know the little one didn't make it and she sent back that the person who took the other 3 also lost one last night. The other 2 have been doing great. They eat around a 8-10 cc every 4 hours and haven't had any problems with eliminating yet. I did...
