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.
Cognitive dysfunction syndrome in dogs is an established diagnosis, but there has been limited research for cats and treatment options are limited. [13] Drugs used for treatment of the disease have been approved for use in dogs. However, they are used off-label in treatment of cats. [1] Early diagnosis improves results of long-term treatment.

The ptosis from inactivation of the superior tarsal muscle causes the eye to appear sunken in, but when actually measured, enophthalmos is not present.

Yes, cats can catch colds and have similar symptoms as us humans. “Cat colds are usually diagnosed as an Upper Respiratory Infection (URI) and are usually caused by one or more viral and ...
Feline hyperaldosteronism is a disease in cats. The symptoms are caused by abnormally high concentrations of the hormone aldosterone, [1] which is secreted by the adrenal gland. The high concentrations of aldosterone may be due directly to a disorder of the adrenal gland (primary hyperaldosteronism), or due to something outside of the adrenal ...
