Critical green inclusions are a rare finding, and when found they are suggestive of a poor prognosis, hence the colloquial term death crystals.A 2018 review found that 56% of patients died shortly after the inclusions were first identified (usually within two weeks). [5]
Pendulous wing-like folds of skin form on the cat's back, shoulders and haunches. Even stroking the cat can cause the skin to stretch and tear. A recessive autosomal (non-sex linked) form of feline cutaneous asthenia has been identified in Siamese cats and related breeds. In the homozygous state, it is apparently lethal.
A feline zoonosis is a viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoan, nematode or arthropod infection that can be transmitted to humans from the domesticated cat, Felis catus.Some of these diseases are reemerging and newly emerging infections or infestations caused by zoonotic pathogens transmitted by cats.
A woman has been charged with 10 counts of animal torture after officials rescued more than 100 cats and kittens from her home in Crystal, Minnesota. After weeks of searching, authorities seized a ...
Feline idiopathic cystitis begins as an acute non-obstructive episode and is self-limiting in about 85% of cases, resolving itself in a week. In approximately 15% of cases, it can escalate into an obstructive episode ("blocked cat") which can be life-threatening for a male cat. [5]
The real Ice IX has none of the properties of Vonnegut's creation, and can exist only at extremely low temperatures and high pressures. The ice-nine-like phenomenon has occurred with a few other kinds of crystals, called "disappearing polymorphs". In these cases, a new variant of a crystal has been introduced into an environment, replacing many ...
Oversaturation of urine with crystals is by far the biggest factor in stone formation in dogs and cats. [3] This oversaturation can be caused by increased excretion of crystals by the kidneys, water reabsorption by the renal tubules resulting in concentration of the urine, and changes in urine pH that influence crystallization.
Females can be physically injured from just one mating, and the more a female mates, the more scarring forms in the copulatory duct. [7] In guppies, the male's gonopodium can cause damage when forcefully inserted, causing cloacal damage to the females. [10] In fowl, females can be physically injured during forceful copulations.
