Abstract

Mačke pasmine Maine Coon obolijevaju od bilo koje bolesti kao i druge mačke, ali specifičnost ove pasmine je ipak u tome što obolijevaju i od specifičnih genetski predisponirajućih bolesti koje se nasljeđuju. U radu su obrađene rendgenološka i ultrazvučna dijagnostika najučestalijih nasljednih bolesti. Obrađene su bolesti koje su medicinski teže i prognostički nepovoljne, ali i lakše bolesti i anomalije, koje imaju manje medicinske komplikacije. Hipertrofična kardiomiopatija je jedna od težih i prognostički nepovoljnih bolesti. Displazija kukova također u svojim težim oblicima može dovesti do degenerativnih promjena na kukovima i primjerenih posljedica. Policistični bubrezi su vrlo teška bolest koja dovodi do kroničnog zatajivanja bubrega. Opisane su i dvije relativno benigne i rjeđe bolesti kao što je luksacija patele i polidaktilija koje sigurno spadaju u slikovnu dijagnostiku nasljednih bolesti u Maine Coon pasmine mačaka. Ovim radom se htjela istaknuti potreba za bliskom i kontinuiranom suradnjom između veterinara praktičara, Saveza felinoloških društava Hrvatske i vlasnika životinja. Kvalitetnom suradnjom bi se dobile velike dobiti za sve zainteresirane strane.

Abstract (english)

Maine Coon cats are prone to any diseases as other cats, but some genetic hereditary diseases are this breed specific. The study summarizes radiological and ultrasound diagnostics of most common hereditary diseases. Both medically severe and prognostically unfavourable as well as less severe conditions and anomalies are described. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is one of the severe and prognostically unfavourable diseases. Hip dysplasia in its severe grades may lead to degenerative changes of the hip joint and related consequences. Polycystic kidney diseases present a serious threat of chronic kidney failure. Two relatively benign and not so common diseases are described as well; patella luxation and polydactylia, both radiologically diagnosed hereditary diseases of the Maine Coon breed. The study emphasizes the need of close and continuous cooperation between veterinary practitioners, Croatian Feline Breeders Federation and cat owners. Close collaboration would be a great gain for all involved parties.
