I am sorry Nelson tested pos.
It sure happened fast.
I know Sami has given you good advice.
I hope he has a long life.

Oh honey, I am so sorry...Originally Posted by BrookeSphynx
Thank you! I am heartbroken. Even though I was pretty sure this would be the outcome, I still wasn't ready for it... It did happen so fast - he was tested back in November and didn't have it, and now he has Moderate HCM.
I can only take peace knowing that I've caught it in it's earliest stages and hope that he's one of the lucky ones that can live for years with medication. I'll do whatever I can for him, and let him go if he's suffering.
Wow, Jacky. I hope your sister is able to make that breeder pay for her sphynx to get scanned. That would be the right thing for her to do. That's why I've started telling people on the other site to not only ask if they scan, but get proof. It's too easy to lie about it.Originally Posted by mews2much
Brooke,
The word has to get out.
So many people on the other site know nothing and will get a sphynx from anywhere just to have one.
I agree contacting them could cause a problem.
I would not want Nelson to be pts just because of that.
I am glad Cheryl posted Nelsons story on her site.
So many breeders do not test for HCM
and Sami told me the breeder that sold a sphynx to my sister lies about scanning.
She tells people she scans but does not so my sister asked for a copy of a scan and she has none.
