Potential Health Risks Of Teacup Cats


Teacup cats are so cute. They come in tiny sizes that can surely amaze you. However, several issues about the safety of breeding these cats have been presented by experts.


Because of the physical attributes of these tiny cats, they are at high risk of acquiring or developing health problems. One case in point is that a teacup Persian cat may be prone to having chronic respiratory diseases, including breathing problems and asthma.


What are the other problems these cats may suffer from? The list includes the following:

  • Infections in the nose and eyes

  • Jaw issues that affect their ability to consume and chew food items

  • Polycystic kidney disease

  • Dental and oral diseases

  • Issues in regulating body temperature

  • Injuries

  • Arthritis

  • Stress or anxiety

  • Because of their smaller body parts and organs, teacup felines are more prone to these health issues. Accepting this fact may be hard for a fur parent like you. Remember that regular wellness checkups are essential to ensure your teacup cat’s health.

If you have concerns about your pet's health and/or behavior, make an appointment with your veterinary clinic Metairie, LA.
