Abyssinian General Health
Abyssinian Cat is a healthy breed, and depending on their life style will live a better healthy life. Like all cats they should be kept indoors in order to prevent them from contagious and fatal diseases that are easily transmitted from the outside world. Vaccinations should always be kept up to date and routine checkups should be made on regular basis. As soon as you find any illness it is advised to promptly meet nearby veterinarian.
Misbalance diet is also a main contributor to illness, so start feeding kittens raw chicken wings and necks at a very early age. This will exercise the gums and prevent them to form tartar on the teeth.
A common disease "Renal Amyloidosis" is found in Abyssinians and can result in kidney failure. Some say that this disease is genetic. Unfortunately, this disease is also seen in many other breeds of cats.
