This theory is supported by the variability of clinical signs within affected cats, with many of the clinical signs being present within other feline disorders including dermatological, behavioural, orthopaedic and neurological disorders. Further support of this theory is provided by the mixed response to a wide range of therapeutic treatment.
Feline diseases are often opportunistic and tend to be more serious in cats that already have concurrent sicknesses. Some of these can be treated and the animal can have a complete recovery. Others, like viral diseases, are more difficult to treat and cannot be treated with antibiotics, which are not effective against viruses.
Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib or VF) is an abnormal heart rhythm in which the ventricles of the heart quiver. [2] It is due to disorganized electrical activity. [2] Ventricular fibrillation results in cardiac arrest with loss of consciousness and no pulse. [1] This is followed by sudden cardiac death in the absence of treatment. [2]
In cats, taurine deficiency is the most common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy. [47] As opposed to these hereditary forms, non-hereditary DCM used to be common in the overall cat population before the addition of taurine to commercial cat food.
Cancer is the number-one disease-related killer of cats and dogs. Many cancer symptoms in cats are subtle and can be caused by another condition, but if you notice any of the following potential ...
There are two major classes of cardiac fibrillation: atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscle of atria. It can be a chronic condition, usually treated with anticoagulation and sometimes with conversion to normal sinus rhythm.
Lentigo in cats is a common dermatological condition characterized by the presence of small, flat, brownish spots on the skin — particularly around the lips, nose, and eyelid margins. Unlike in ...
[1] [5] People with TIC may have symptoms associated with heart failure (e.g. shortness of breath or ankle swelling) and/or symptoms related to the tachycardia or arrhythmia (e.g. palpitations). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Though atrial fibrillation is the most common cause of TIC, several tachycardias and arrhythmias have been associated with the disease.
