Folded-eared cats do not suffer from achondroplasia. When they are completely healthy, they do not need to take chondroitin for a long time. However, long-term use of chondroitin is required to relieve the pain after the onset of the disease. Chondrodysplasia in folded-eared cats is a genetic disease of cats. Usually, symptomatic treatment can only be carried out through oral analgesics, chondroitin, etc. During this period, the cat’s activity level should be reduced as much as possible to avoid exercise aggravating the pain reaction. If a cat takes chondroitin for a long time when its bones are healthy, it may cause damage to the cat's bone marrow. It may also cause ear deformities and, in severe cases, paralysis.
