Thread: What health-test do you do?

An example on a cat of mine:

I knew about PawPeds pedigree DB but not the health programs. Your info is very complete and impressive! It is really a problem in the US to have cats tested by a cardiologist vet specialist. There just are not that many of them. We now have one in St Louis, the nearest big city (2 hours away), but prior to that the nearest was 4+ hours away. Some areas do not have any even that close.

Very interested to hear about your hetero female. I started another thread asking if anyone else had any DNA positive cats. We have one female hetero who will be 5 this year and was echoed last year for the first time (negative). Plan is to have her redone every couple of years. The breeder has a hetero male that I think was around 8 last year (we took our girl at the same time). His heart did show some HCM changes. We went through HCM with a MC mix stray that we took in 6 years ago, so know about it very well.
