A 5-month-old castrated male Sphynx kitten presented with left hindlimb lameness shortly after adoption. Prior to adoption, the breeder had fed the kitten an exclusively raw chicken diet. Radiographs revealed generalized osteopenia and a left tibia-fibula fracture. Ophthalmic examination revealed corneal vascularization and opacity in the right eye, and lesions suggestive of feline central retinal degeneration in the left eye. The patient's diagnoses included metabolic bone disease and feline central retinal degeneration, which can result from taurine deficiency. The kitten's nutritional diseases were managed with a complete and balanced canned diet designed for kitten growth and with taurine supplementation.
一只5个月大的阉割雄性加拿大无毛猫幼猫在被领养后不久出现左后肢跛行。在被领养之前，繁育者一直只用生鸡肉喂养这只小猫。X光片显示全身性骨质减少以及左胫腓骨骨折。眼科检查发现右眼有角膜血管化和浑浊，左眼有提示猫中枢性视网膜变性的病变。该患者的诊断包括代谢性骨病和猫中枢性视网膜变性，这可能是由牛磺酸缺乏导致的。这只小猫的营养性疾病通过一种专为小猫生长设计的完全均衡的罐装食品以及补充牛磺酸来处理。
