Cat Hypertension

About Cat High Blood Pressure (hypertension)

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a relatively common and potentially severe threat to feline health. The condition can be dangerous in itself, responsible for a variety of disorders adversely affecting, for example, a cat’s eyesight, kidney activity, or cardiac function. It can also indicate the presence of a potentially deadly underlying systemic disease. Fortunately, with timely and appropriate veterinary monitoring and treatment, feline hypertension—whatever its cause—is almost always manageable.
