Abstract
A 5‐year‐old, male, neutered, domestic shorthair cat was diagnosed with idiopathic hypercalcaemia. It had been previously treated for idiopathic sterile pyogranulomatous disease; however, at the time of diagnosis of the hypercalcaemia, it was receiving no treatment and there was no evidence of recurrence of disease. Treatment of the hypercalcaemia with alendronate, chia seeds and dietary modification was unsuccessful. Treatment with prednisolone was considered inappropriate due to the patient's pre‐diabetic state. Treatment was initiated with cinacalcet, which resulted in resolution of the hypercalcaemia. This report is the first to describe the successful use of cinacalcet to resolve hypercalcaemia in a cat.
期刊介绍:
Vet Record Case Reports is an online resource that publishes articles in all fields of veterinary medicine and surgery so that veterinary professionals, researchers and others can easily find important information on both common and rare conditions. Articles may be about a single animal, herd, flock or other group of animals managed together. Common cases that present a diagnostic, ethical or management challenge, or that highlight aspects of mechanisms of injury, pharmacology or histopathology are deemed of particular educational value. All articles are peer reviewed and copy edited before publication.
