Hyperaldosteronism case report: reviving a senior cat's verve.

摘要

A 13-year-old 10.3-lb (4.68-kg) spayed female domestic shorthaired cat was presented to the VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital for progressive and unresolving lethargy over the course of two to three days and one episode of vomiting. The owner reported that the cat recently showed an inability or unwillingness to jump onto elevated surfaces and described signs consistent with a plantigrade hindlimb stance that was episodic in nature. The cat was otherwise healthy with no preexisting conditions and was receiving no medications. It lived in a household as the sole pet and was indoor-only, and there was no known exposure to or ingestion of toxins.
