Fold-eared cats do not need to eat chondroitin. Chondroitin is used to nourish joints and can play a lubricating role between bones and joints. Therefore, only cats with folded ears that are affected need to take chondroitin, which can relieve the pain of cats with the disease. However, cats with folded ears that are not affected do not need to supplement chondroitin.
Precautions for raising folded-eared cats
1. Folded-eared cats are born with genetic diseases, and their physical constitution is very weak compared to cats with erect ears. Therefore, owners must pay more attention to folded-eared cats and ensure that the cat’s diet is rich and comprehensive in nutrients.
2. Fold-eared cats are not suitable for strenuous exercise. You should take them to bask in the sun more often, and be careful to keep them warm and prevent their joints from getting cold.
3. The owner needs to take the folded-eared cat for regular physical examinations to understand its skeletal condition, and timely adjust the feeding method according to its condition, which can more effectively help it delay the onset of illness.
