Maine Coon Health Concerns

Most Maine Coons are typically healthy, but there are  some health issues that this breed can have.

Hereditary issues they may encounter are hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) a common form of heart disease in cats. Hip dysplaysia, a defect of the hip socket, and spinal muscular atrophy which is death of nerves in the spinal column that affect the legs and trunk of the body. Regular vet checkups can help prevent most health issues in them and all cat breeds
