HI, I realize these posts are older, however can anyone give any follow up outcomes on these little babies with their fur falling out? My daughter and I found two babies in the bushes that were ICE cold. They still had blood on them so I’m assuming they were maybe less than an hour old. They wouldn’t have survived much longer! We left for a few min. to see if mom would come back for them but no such luck! So, guess what we have been doing for the past 2 1/2 weeks?
My youngest daughter has what we thought were severe cat allergies and we adopted a hairless cat 15 yrs ago. Later, after extensive testing we learned that it was dust mites on the cats that she was allergic to. I have been involved with the Sphynx breed since so I have seen natural hairless mutations that people have found on their farms etc. but they are bald when you see them initially.
The crazy thing is that this little male kitten (who had a beautiful black coat) is losing his fur!! It seems to be the exact same thing that some of you were seeing, on his legs, his back and he has a mohawk!
What the heck is going on? The vet says the only thing he can think of is ringworm but there are no lesions on his skin! I put him under a black light and theres nothing there, his skin looks great!
Unfortunately, at week one we lost the little girl which I kinda expected since she was only 74 grams the first day. : (
Any updates wpuld be appreciated and hopefully will put our minds at rest. We don’t want to lose him!
