The most common parasites are removed with the recommended regular deworming. We want to be sure there is nothing wrong and start to deworm the young kittens at the age of 2 weeks with  Panacur paste and continue every two weeks till the kittens leave in their new home. Later it is recommended for the new owner to deworm his cat four times a year, even if the cat lives in an apartment

Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PK deficiency)

We have tested all our breeding cats on PK-deficiency and the result is N/N, which means they have no gene of the disease, thus all of them are  suited for further breeding.

 

HCM is a thickening of the walls of the heart, which can lead to death. Also other cats than the Bengal can be affected and it can also be found in humans.

Every serious breeder has his breeding cats periodically checked by ultra sound on HCM and should some first thickening of the walls of the heart be noticed, he takes the animals immediately from his breeding program. We are very pleased that all the HCM tests that we had done at Kleintierspital in Zürich for our breeders every year have been negative.

We have had blood tests taken of all our breeding cats and they are tested negative, which means they don't carry this disease in their genes.
