Journal of Veterinary Case Report, cilt.1, sa.1, ss.5-9, 2021 (Hakemli Dergi)
This case report was aimed to provide information about nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism diagnosed in
a cat. The case material consisted of a 1-year-old, tabby breed female cat who was a weakness, inability to stand up and not
to walk. According to the anamnesis information, it was learned that the appetite of the animal was good, but its nutrition
consisted only of foods with high phosphorus content such as salami, sausage, and meat. Radiological examination revealed
lordosis in the cervical spine, kyphosis in the lumbar spine, and a small amount of free fluid in the abdomen. The hematologic
examination was normal. It was also suggested that meat and meat products such as salami and sausages should not be
included in the diet. Kyphosis and lordosis were found to be permanent. As a result, it is concluded that the possibility of
nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism should be evaluated in cats who were fed diets high in phosphorus and with
fatigue, inability to stand up, and unable to walk.
