Skin Care.

  In the Canadian Sphinx like other animals have on the body of the sebaceous glands that secrete a special lubricant - a protective

substance to the skin.

At the Sphinx, it looks like a light brown color, resembling the human sunburn, which can be easily transferred to the

surrounding objects. Canadian Sphinx may well leave a brown stains on the clean clothes, not to mention those

places where he likes to sleep. But it is too abundant selection may indicate that the animal is properly fed (for example, is too fatty food) or not feeling well. At moderate discharge is sufficient to wipe the Sphinx,

the extent of contamination, damp sponge or cleaning wipes for the animals, you can "Johnsons Baby" for children

Sphinx should be washed with special hypoallergenic shampoo for cats (I use the shampoo, "Doctor" - great

suited to my pets!) or baby soap, shampoo containing PH 5.5. (such as "Johnsons Baby").

. Thoroughly rinse the detergent from the skin of an animal as a cat can lick the remains of the body surface and the resulting

can be observed: the poisoning, vomiting, irritation of the skin, etc. After completion of the wash should be well

wipe and dry the animal to ensure that it is not cold. If your Sphynx dandruff, scaling, dryness

the skin, it must be lubricated with oil after a bath for the skin (you can 'Johnsons Baby "). Every cat on

the outer side of the tail are the sebaceous glands. Other breeds of cats under the hair that is not visible, but all in sphinx

mind, and we see black dots, which are called acne.

 Acne (acne) with sphinxes. Skin lesions may be like cats and the cats are actively used in breeding,

As a rule, completely devoid of coat ("rubber"). Acne is also observed in young animals during the period

active puberty. Hormonal regulation of secretion of sebum can be carried out at four levels:

hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal cortex and gonads. The sebaceous glands of various locations have different numbers of

receptors for hormones. This explains the fact that the number of animals is often affected certain areas: in the main -

dorsal surface of the tail, back, spine, face, neck, and submandibular space, the surface of the abdomen. Often

destruction capture all the animal body and lead to hyperpigmentation of the skin. In general, all the hormones in the body can be

divided by stimulating excretion of fat and suppress. By the hormones that stimulate sebum are

ACTH, adrenocortical hormones, androgens, progesterone. For hormone that suppresses excretion of fat, are estrogens.

 In the development of acne plays a significant role of genetic predisposition and a certain color of the animal. In general, the affected cat blue, blue-cream and red colors, completely devoid of coat, rarely-flock.

In the pathogenesis of acne can distinguish four mechanisms:

A. Hyperproduction of sebum (especially true for "rubber")

Two. Follicular hyperkeratosis - a constant accumulation of sebum and horny masses inside the follicle and their constant pressure on the

surrounding tissue leads to atrophy of the sebaceous glands, as well as to expand the mouth of the follicle. Formed open

comedones or blackheads. The black color is not due to secretion by exogenous contamination or oxidation of sebum, as it was considered

earlier, and melanin.

Three. The activity of bacteria. The greatest role in the development of inflammation in comedones are Propionobacterium aknes. On the skin

hair follicles are found fungi Pytirosporum, Staphylococcus epidermidis.

4. Inflammation - can occur at any stage of acne, it can be superficial and deep.

 We determined the sphinxes at least two types of acne:

 A) comedones. The inflammatory component is weak.

 Treatment: Salicylic acid (gel or solution) Deleks-Acne (if mild), Hepar Sulphur-, Zener (with more severe forms)

 B) Ulovatokistoznye acne. This form is characterized by the formation of deep infiltrates and cystic cavities filled with

pus, which may merge with each other and opened outward through the sinus tract. Often accompanied by vasculitis

skin. Exodus - the formation of persistent scarring. Usually there is a long course of the disease. As a rule, eels are

on the dorsal surface of the tail and along the spine, and is often due to inflammation in these areas is formed "shell"

(Dead and keratinized skin and fluid stratification).

 Treatment: Zener, Clindamycin (1% liniment and lotion) + doxycycline (Yunidoks) or minocycline (dosage: 50 mg \ day and up to 30

mg \ day, respectively).

Avoid exposure to sunlight. In severe and advanced cases shows castration.

 

Cleaning the ears.

As the contamination of the ear, it is necessary to carry out its cleanup. You can use a cotton swab, cotton

sticks, a piece of gauze, lotion, cleaning ears, it can be purchased in veterinary pharmacy. Lotion in the ears, bury

each ear, 2-3 drops, massaging, and after 5 minutes, remove the dirt with a cotton swab moistened with the same lotion (deep in the

hearing is not necessary to climb, you can hurt him enough to collect the visible dirt from the inside dirt will lead lotion).

 

Eye Care. We do not have sphinx lashes. Everyone knows, what do you want your eyelashes. They prevent eye contact

different particles,

which are practically invisible to the eye but they are present in the air. This is the dust and stuff. In this function is performed by Sphinx

gelatinous discharge, with whom his eyes from the dust particles are derived, and all particles that are in the air. Necessary

wiping her eyes with a special solution or tea with a cotton pad. Dry is better not to wipe the drive because in the eye can

get villus and dry cotton pad rather rough and can cause irritation and redness of the eyes. If you still can not

avoid the redness, you can drip or Maksidin Anandin, but do not abuse and dripping at every opportunity

case. If the redness does not subside and the eye was swollen and painful is necessary to show the kitten the vet. With the eyes of a

Sphinx - trifled with. It is better not to self-medicate.

 

Grooming a cat's claws.

If you come to trim claws - do not try to cut them as short as possible - so you risk damaging the vessel and

pain

the cat. It is better to cut less, but more often, and for the first time are advised to contact an experienced cat owners and the veterinarian

that he showed how to make cut nails.

 How to trim the claws

Lock the cat. Hold the tool in his right hand.

Cats claws are hidden, so you need to gently press a finger while holding a pillow between your thumb and forefinger,

so that the claw

appeared.
