(1) Background: The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of feline hip dysplasia (HD), patellar luxation and lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LTV) in pedigree cats in the Czech Republic. (2) Methods: 107 pedigree cats at least 10 months old were recruited prospectively at the Small Animal Clinic at the University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno, CZ, between April 2019 and July 2020. (3) Results: The prevalence of hip joint dysplasia in all pedigree cats was 46.7%, of which 78% of cats had bilateral dysplasia. The HD was mainly from mild (grade 1) to moderate (grade 2); however, 6.1% of hip joints showed signs of severe HD (grade 3) in Maine Coon and Siberian cats. Patellar luxation was noted in 32.7% of the pedigree cats, was present bilaterally in 91.4% and was grade 1 or 2 in most cats. The presence of LTV was noted in 7.5% of pedigree cats. (4) Conclusions: The high prevalence of HD in pedigree cats should be considered and screening pedigree cats for HD is recommended before they are used in breeding programs.
(1) 背景:本研究的目的是确定捷克共和国纯种猫中猫髋关节发育不良(HD)、髌骨脱位和腰骶部移行椎(LTV)的患病率。(2) 方法:2019年4月至2020年7月期间,在捷克布尔诺兽医与制药科学大学小动物诊所前瞻性招募了107只至少10月龄的纯种猫。(3) 结果:所有纯种猫中髋关节发育不良的患病率为46.7%,其中78%的猫为双侧发育不良。HD主要为轻度(1级)至中度(2级);然而,缅因猫和西伯利亚猫中有6.1%的髋关节表现出严重HD(3级)的迹象。32.7%的纯种猫存在髌骨脱位,91.4%为双侧脱位,大多数猫为1级或2级。7.5%的纯种猫存在LTV。(4) 结论:应考虑纯种猫中HD的高患病率,建议在将纯种猫用于繁殖计划之前对其进行HD筛查。
