My family recently relocated. I took Kloe our almost 1 year old Sphynx (She will be 1 on the 19th) to the vet for just a "check up" to get to know the vet before I needed one. We have had Kloe now since January and here is where I need the help...
The vet told me stop feeding my Sphynx Nutro Natural Choice Indoor and Kitten (I'm in the process of switching from Kitten) and switch to Science Diet Kitten because it was a better source of protein. I thought it was the opther way
She also told me to stop bathing her with Johnson Baby SHampoo (which the breeder I got her from used and has worked just fine till now) and to use a special Medicated Shampoo. Even though nothing was wrong with her skin. I also needed to use a leave on conditioner for her skin. I also needed eye ointment to keep her eyes from getting irrated when she got bathed. And an ear cream to help keep the water out of her ears when she got bathed since she has no hair in the ears.
Once again let me make it clear that nothing was wrong with her skin, eyes, ears this was just a visit to get to know the vet. I don't claim to be an expert on cats but I can't help but feel she was fine up till this point without all these creams and ointments. Should I just ignore what the vet said or should I switch her food, shampoo and start using the ointment and cream?
Sorry for the length I'm just completely confused and want to make sure I get all the information to you to so you can help me. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
