Genetic disorders in Burmese

[lesley]

I am studying animal care and would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me if the Burmese cat is prone to any genetic disorders.

Thanks very much.

Hi Lesley,

I'm not an expert on the breed, but I did find these links for you:


The best piece of info I could find:
http://www.allpets.com/petcyclopedia...pic.asp?id=782

http://www.fanciers.com/breed-faqs/f...rmese-faq.html - breed description

http://www.cah.com/library/cardiac.html - Says there may be a genetic link to heart conditions.
