How to deal with the health of Maine Coons

Maine coons are one of man’s friendliest cats and are at a high risk of death as of late due to various health problems. Maine coons are the most recognized domestic cat breeds that are marked as the smartest and friendliest cat breeds. The breed produced in New England is not only intelligent but also the tallest in the entire United States.

In addition to being one of the most prominent breeds today, these cats are prone to many health problems, few of which are genetically inherited and few others are due to lack of proper care. Few reasons for the tragic death of Maine Coons are also man-made, as the number of medical experiments on animals increases by the day. Maine Coons are one of those breeds prone to that experimentation process all over the world.

Understanding the reasons for the sudden and tragic death of Maine coons and taking good care of them is completely in your hands if you own one. Leaving aside the causes of death caused by man; the main reason for his sudden disappearance is his health problems. They suffer from numerous genetic disorders for which there is no cure available.

Many Maine coons die during the medication process due to genetic disorders, as we do not have a proper medication or healing methodology. The only solution for cats suffering from a genetic disorder is to discover them at the earliest stage and administer medications to at least improve their life expectancy.

The most common genetic disorder that has already caused the sudden death of many is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This disorder can be detected at a young age, but the cure is not available as of now. It is an infection that alters the lifestyle of cats and has a strong hereditary history. It causes improper growth of the heart muscles that leads to many cardiovascular dysfunctions.

The sudden deaths of these cats occur due to the inability of the human eye to identify any abnormality in many cases. However, if we pay little attention, we can identify disorders such as slow breathing, blood groups in the legs, etc. Besides hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, there are many other reasons such as spinal muscular atrophy, hip dysplasia, polycystic kidney disease, etc.

Since most of the diseases that Maine Coons suffer from are due to genetic disorders, there is no cure available if cats do not show any symptoms at an early stage.

However, if Maine Coons hint at any symptoms at an early stage and if we can identify them, we can extend the lives of cats by changing their feeding routine and providing hormonal and pharmaceutical treatments.
