Feline asthma is an inflammatory response to respiratory irritants and stress that narrows the airways, making it difficult to breathe. In cats, the cause appears to be an allergic reaction to environmental irritants that causes hypersensitivity of the airways.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a cancer of the flat cells that line many tissues in cats, such as the skin, mouth, and esophagus. SCC occurs most commonly where hair is sparse or light-colored as there is less protection from UV rays.
Gastrointestinal impactions are compact masses of feed or other material that get stuck in specific locations along the digestive tract of horses. Causes include dehydration, large meals, insufficient chewing, foreign material, or disruption to intestinal function.
Lens prolapse, or luxation, is when the lens of the eye becomes dislocated from its proper position. A dislocated lens can move into the front (anterior) or the rear (posterior) of the eye, and may be primary (inherited) or secondary (occurring due to another condition).
Dacryocystitis is inflammation of the tear sac. The tear sac is part of the system which allows the draining of tears inside the nasal passages. When tear drainage is obstructed, tears overflow from the eye and conjunctivitis develops.
Masticatory myositis is a condition of unknown origin where the muscles needed to chew become inflamed, making it painful to open the mouth or eat food. It is so rare in cats that there is no clear consensus among the veterinary community as to whether it is a feline condition at all.
