What does the disease look like in a cat with folded ears

1. In the early stages of the disease, the cat will be lazy, inactive, and have reduced jumping ability (previously) I can jump onto the sofa window sill, but I can’t jump on it now).

2. Gradually, cats will develop mobility impairments. The symptoms are: walking with their backs hunched over, taking every step carefully, and some even stagger and fall down after taking one or two steps.

3. Then there will be more obvious symptoms: the cat will lift its forelimbs or hind limbs (this is the natural state of the cat that will press on the joints and cause pain. Lifting the limbs can reduce the pressure and relieve the pain) . The cat's limbs will swell and lumps will appear in the joints. The cat's tail becomes stiff and cannot wag.

4. Some cats with folded ears may also experience abnormal nail growth.
