Will cats with folded ears definitely get the disease?

Folded-eared cats do not necessarily get sick. Because the incidence of folded-eared cats is mainly determined by genes, there is no way to intervene but to observe more at ordinary times. There is currently no cure for this genetic disease in folded-eared cats, and the only way to relieve the pain of folded-eared cats is through medication. After a cat with folded ears becomes ill, the disease will become more and more serious as it ages.

How to prevent the disease in cats with folded ears:

1. Frequently feed nutritional paste to increase the vitamins in their bodies to improve their immunity.

2. The cat nests and litter boxes used by folded-ear cats are often placed in the sun for a while when they have time.

3. Fold-eared cats should receive sufficient light every day to allow them to fully absorb sunlight.
