Your first Canadian Sphynx kitten
So, you have your first kitten of the Canadian sphinx, you just took it from the nursery and are a little scared by what to expect tonight.
What reactions can the baby have to change their place of residence?
The Sphinx is a very emotional animal, perhaps the most emotional of all we know, and can react differently to a new house.
Of all the reactions we know, you may face the following:
1. On the first day, the kitten may not go to the toilet at all, neither write, nor poop.
2. The kitten can refuse food and water on the first day. But do not be afraid and do not panic, because the baby will behave completely normal, communicate with you and play. And if not for these details, you would not have guessed that the kitten is subconsciously in a state of stress. It takes no more than 24 hours.
3. The most unpleasant reaction to stress is diarrhea, and due to panic, the child can go to the first place that hit and go around the toilet. Against stress, diarrhea can last up to two days to stop faster, we recommend that you buy Enterosgel in a pharmacy and take it for several days. If this is stress, and not a hidden disease, then the diarrhea will quickly pass and the kitten will begin to go normally to the toilet.
4. Constipation can be a reverse reaction, this problem will pass by itself, intervention is not required. But if necessary, it is enough to use natural olive oil.
You do not need to worry, these are rare phenomena and quickly pass if the animal is healthy.
Before bringing the kitten home, you need to get detailed instructions from the breeder about what the baby is used to so that there is no contrasting transition between what the baby is used to and what the new parent offers him. The transition should be smooth and no earlier than 2 weeks after the appearance of the baby in the new house.
Now about the main points!
If you brought the kitten home, and he is not in the mood, basically sits and looks at one point, does not play, does not run, does not explore the new area, then most likely this is an unhealthy baby. With Sphinx, absolutely everything is determined by her mood.
