VET CASE STUDY. A cat has rapid breathing for the past 6 months. Why?Acquired Chronic Diaphragmatic Hernia Pt 2 of 2. TREATMENT
This 5-year-old female feral cat in a village in Myanmar was knocked down by a vehicle around June 2024. She survived, eats and drinks normally. But she has the deep abdominal breathing daily for the past six months. Why? The village vet could not diagnose the cat's problem. The cat feeder got a 2nd opinion and was pleased to know why her cat had this medical condition of difficulty in breathing. Dr Thet Hmue Kyaw, BVSc (Yezin) had X-ray evidence of diaphragmatic hernia to show her why. Dr Thet explained the pros and cons of surgery in this video. Surgery is the only treatment but it is very costly and risky for this cat. The care giver thanked him and decided not to proceed with surgery.
Dr K Y Sing's advices to vets with no X-ray facilities. Do recommend your patient to a clinic with X-ray facilities to practise evidence-based veterinary medicine.
Today is 27 January 2025. This Part 2/2 video was scripted and created by Dr K Y Sing for Be Kind To Pets Veterinary Educational Video sponsored by Toa Payoh Vets to educate vet students and pet owners. Dr Sing's expresses his grateful thanks to Dr H K Thet for sharing his case.
