Savannah Super Cat
Hi everyone,
My kitten was found to be Cryptorchid upon neutering. I have read online that this is a genetically inherited trait and more common in purebreds. This same kitten died at 6 months of age from really horrific congenital and auto-immune issues. I am wondering if Cryptorchidism occurs at the same rate in Savannahs.. also if others have experienced additional congenital or auto-immune health issues with their kittens that were cryptorchid?
This website does list a few other congenital abnormalities that occur with cryptorchidism in non-hybrid animals:
