Healing Your Sphynx Cat’s Boo-Boos
Does your Sphynx cat have a boo boo? Unfortunately, most boo boos are inevitable, but doing what you can to ease the discomfort and promote healing is important. Below, we cover products that could help protect your pet's sensitive skin and reduce the chance of scarring.
Why Do Boo Boos Happen To Sphynx Cats?
Boo boos happen. Whether it's from a bug bite, rash, burn, cut, or other skin irritant, most can be difficult to avoid, especially with Sphynx cats. With other cat breeds, their fur can often act as a barrier from the outside world, which can sometimes protect their skin from boo boos. Since Sphynx cats don't have fur, their skin is often left vulnerable to getting cuts or bug bites more easily.
Product Recommendations
Some recommended products to heal your cats' skin injury include:
-

Clothing Maker Recommendations
Clothing is not only used to keep your Sphynx warm, but it also comes in handy when your hairless baby has a bite, sting, or rash. The clothing acts as a barrier, protecting their skin from itching or licking the affected area. It’ll also help keep the salve in and prevent it from transferring to furniture or clothing.

Boo boos happen, but doing what you can to heal the irritation quickly and naturally will help. A skin healing salve, pet clothing, and vitamins are great options to speed up the process so that your Sphynx can get back to having healthy and clear skin in no time!
