Fold-eared cat is very cute. Almost all cat lovers will fall in love with them at a glance, but such "preference" brings them endless pain. People only focus on the appearance of folded cats, but they don’t know that their ears are folded because of genetic changes that soften the cartilage tissue. There is a fold-eared cat in the neighbor's house. It was originally very lively, but when he was 5 years old, he suddenly felt weak in his hind feet. The reason the doctor said after the examination made the owner almost heartbroken.
The neighbor brought back a cute fold-eared cat Ayuan. It is very lively and has always been loved by its owner since it was brought back. But at the age of 5, A Yuan was weak in his hind legs and even had difficulty walking. The owner took it to the doctor. The doctor said that like all folding cats, Ayuan suffers from cartilage tissue softening disease, which is a disease caused by genetic changes and cannot be treated. The folded ear cat's ears are weak and can only fold, because of this reason.
Almost all cats with the Folding Ear gene suffer from a certain degree of joint lesions. Many Folding Ear cats will become ill when they are still in their prime and eventually become paralyzed. The doctor told the owner that A Yuan had already developed the disease and could not be treated, and it would only go worse day by day. In the end, every step he took was painful, and at that time he could only recommend euthanasia.
For every cat lover, watching the hairy child at home be euthanized is the greatest pain. Ayuan's owner was unwilling to give up and bought it a lot of health food, and even changed the food. But no matter how careful they take care of him, Abao's situation is getting worse and worse. Now he walks lamely, cannot jump, and cannot run, and his personality has changed a lot.
This hereditary skeletal disease is incurable, and most of the diseases continue to worsen. At present, veterinarians can only use drugs to relieve the condition and help the cat relieve pain and slow down the rate of deterioration. However, when the condition worsens, the bone lesions slowly spread to the spine, causing paralysis of the cat and causing great pain. When a cat cannot bear that pain, the owner must endure the pain and let the cat be euthanized.
The skeletal genetic disease of the cat is not limited to the kitten. As long as the cat has the skeletal gene, it may also cause lesions at any time in his life. Cats are hard to speak, and even if they are sick, they cannot ask for a doctor. Only when we parents should pay more attention to cats and children, so that we can maintain good health for them. Don’t continue to breed fold-eared cats, don’t let more cats suffer such pain, share them and let everyone see it!
