Contrary to common belief, you do not have to take any special care of sphynx skin, you need to take care of it differently.<\/p>

Sphynx hygiene is not more intensive and actually takes less time than combing a long-haired cat.<\/p>

EYES \"\"<\/strong><\/p>

The sphynxes eyes are not protected by eyelashes, so they produce a slightly gelatinous secretion. Just gently pick up what has been gathered in the corners of their eyes. I do it with a dry q-tip or a moistened tissue.<\/p>

EARS\"\"<\/strong><\/p>

Just like with the eyes, sphynx ears have no protection, they are protected by the production of secretion, which together with sebum is often dark brown in nature. If the secretion does not have a bad odor and the cat does not scratch, even a large amount of secretions is physiological. Unfortunately, some veterinarians who do not deal with sphinxes are trying to heal her. If the amount or type of secretion raises doubts, you should ask your vet to test it under a microscope BEFORE starting any medication.<\/strong>.<\/p>

The cat's ear is stiff and simple, so cleaning it is not as problematic as, for example, in dogs with large and drooping ears. There is no need to worry about damaging something in the cat's ear, as the eardrum is very deep. However, do not put the sticks deep into the ear, they are used to clean the corners of the auricle.<\/p>

When using the preparation:<\/strong>
* apply two\/three drops to the ear;
* massage the auricle at its base;
* leave for several dozen seconds;
* let the cat shake the ears ;
* Gently remove the rest of the preparation with a tissue, a cotton ball, a cotton ball, a gauze pad or a cotton swab for children (with a wide tip).
-> make sure that there are no cotton wool residues in the ear.<\/p>

The Internet is full of advice on how to reduce the amount of secretions produced by using ringworm meds, but if a cat does not have ringworm in his ears, how could such medicine help a cat? It can hurt a lot.<\/p>

Particular care must be taken with Oridermyl, which is a medicine for scabies and mycosis and must not be used for healthy ears. Oridermyl can cause neurological symptoms (nystagmus, awkwardness of movement, loss of balance) and severe intoxication if the cat licks the preparation. In addition, Oridermyl has an ototoxic effect, i.e. it can damage your hearing!<\/p>

Claws\"\"<\/strong><\/p>

I cut every week or two with ordinary human nail clippers. If we see that the cutter crushes the cat's claws, it should be replaced with a good quality guillotine or special claw scissors.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

When trimming claws, clean the surrounding skin fold. The easiest way to do this is after bathing, when the discharge is softened. You can also soften it with olive oil. When the cat is wrapped in a towel after bathing, we slide out each paw in turn and wipe each claw and skin around with a damp handkerchief (it should be slightly moved to remove dirt accumulated there).<\/p>

Bath\"\"<\/strong><\/p>

Sphynxes should not be bathed too often, because the skin trying to return to lipid balance will increase sebum secretion. I bathe cats once every 2 or 3 months, and before shows.<\/p>

Put a anti-slippery mat on the bottom of the bathtub. The water temperature should be about 37-38 degrees Celsius (it is worth to buy a water thermometer, eg. for babies). Pour water to a height of about 20-30 cm and turn the tap off. If the cat is not used to bathing, do not try to use the shower or running water because the noise can scare the cat. The ears of the cat should be protected with cotton wool slightly soaked in an olive (eg. for children), to protect the cat's ear canals against water.
For washing it is best to use a terry cloth and a gentle shampoo intended for cats, or you can use a hypoallergenic shampoo for children, which has the advantage of not stinging the eyes.<\/p>

We start washing from the head, first around the eyes, mouth, then neck, torso, limbs (it is worth paying special attention to the groin), the tail, and at the end we wash the cat around the anus.\u00a0<\/p>

Wipe the washed sphynx dry with a soft towel, then wrap it in a blanket and hug it for some time to keep it warm. After bathing, the sphynx should stay in a warm room where there are no drafts<\/u>.<\/p>

Instead of bathing in a bathtub, you can use coconut oil <\/strong>ale uwaga: cze\u015b\u0107 kot\u00f3w mo\u017ce zareagowa\u0107 \u015bwi\u0105dem lub dosta\u0107 reakcji alergicznej<\/strong>.

Skin<\/strong><\/p>

The skin of the sphynx produces sebum, which due to the lack of hair has no where to soak. After some time, the sphynx skin begins to look unsightly (it can be seen more in cats with light skin) and the cat needs a bath.<\/p>

An excess of sebum can be absorbed by cotton clothes in which the sebum soaks up and which additionally keep the cats warm. Clothes are not necessary if the ambient temperature is above 22 degrees Celsius. Sphynxes are always happy to be close to radiators, blankets, but remember that when they sweat, they produce more sebum. They also smell like raw potatoes or mushrooms (I love their scent very much)\u00a0<\/p>

In summer, sphynx skin should not be exposed to direct sunlight, it is good idea to provide a shaded spot for cats, if necessary lubricate it with a hypoallergenic cream with a high UV filter. It's good to know, sphynxes can also get tanned through a window.<\/p>
