The Manx is an artificially bred cat breed, which is why, in addition to its unique external characteristics, it is susceptible to several diseases. Among these, corneal dystrophy can be distinguished. We are talking about edema, which can manifest itself already in the fourth month of the animal's life, therefore Menx kittens are at risk. If you start the disease, then the formation of a corneal ulcer is possible.
The second, no less unpleasant disease of the Manx breed is the pyoderma of the back of the body. This is an inflammatory disease that affects areas of the skin, and all due to the formation of pyogenic microbes. In case of occurrence, the hair is immediately cut off at the place of treatment and a special ointment based on antibiotics and astringents is applied.
Weakness of the hind legs in Menks is not excluded, as a result of which coordination disorders appear. It is quite simple to determine, the gait will be slightly bouncing. The price can vary from 750 to 2500 US dollars, depending on breeding conditions and pedigree.
