Hereditary diseases in cats
Cats are loved and valued as pets. However, each breed has its individual requirements and needs that cat owners need to take into account. In addition, certain breeds are at risk of inherited diseases. Hereditary diseases in cats are diseases or susceptibilities to diseases that are inherited due to genetic mutations. These follow different inheritance patterns and are associated with different probabilities of inheritance, recurrence and disease. Depending on this, they can break out in the offspring or they can simply be carriers of the modified genes and pass them on. There are autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant, gonosomal and mitochondrial inheritance patterns. Genetic testing and breed-specific screening programs can provide clarity.

Peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia in cats
We had an exciting case this week - Emma was supposed to be castrated and during the preliminary examination this complication turned out to be that she had a peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia (PPDH). For the layman, a peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia (PPDH) is a rare malformation in cats in which there is an opening between the abdominal and thoracic cavities. This can cause organs from the abdomen to enter the pericardium, which can lead to problems with heart function. Most affected cats show no symptoms, while others may have difficulty breathing or pain. Diagnosis is made through imaging tests and in some cases surgical treatment is necessary.
