Recently, a pet owner in Beijing shared a video of a cat suddenly falling ill and dying, which aroused heated discussion among netizens. In the video, the kitten is licking the hair, and suddenly it stretches its neck and falls to the ground with stiff body. It is understood that the cat has been with the owner for four years, but its sudden death made the owner feel very unacceptable.
Later, after a veterinarian diagnosis, the disease that the cat suffered from was called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The disease usually does not cause obvious symptoms in the early stages of the disease, but once it occurs, it is an emergency and has a very high mortality rate, so it is called the "cat speed killer". This incident also reminds cat lovers to conduct regular physical examinations and preventive measures on cats to avoid excessive obesity.
According to professionals, the main causes of "hypertrophic cardiomyopathy" are caused by long-term lack of exercise, insufficient nutrition, and endocrine disorders. In addition, excessive intake of protein and phospholipid foods may also be one of the causes of the disease. Therefore, in daily feeding, it is recommended that owners pay attention to the healthy diet of cats and provide them with enough exercise space.
At the same time, it should be noted that although there is currently no specific medicine for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to cure or alleviate the condition, it can effectively prevent and delay its occurrence by adjusting lifestyle and eating habits. If you find that your cat has abnormal conditions, such as sudden dyspnea, too fast heart rate or fatigue, be sure to take it to a professional hospital for treatment in time and consult a veterinarian about its possible disease risks.
A cat owner revealed that his cat suddenly fell ill and died attracted attention. It was diagnosed as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a fast killer disease commonly found in obese cats, which can easily lead to death after onset. This incident once again reminds people to strengthen pet health management, avoid pet obesity and check their health regularly.
