Abstract

Many owners feed their cats with homemade diets, which may not be able to supply all their nutritional needs. Felines have peculiarities in their protein metabolism, and essential amino acids and nutrients requirements found especially in animal tissues sources, hence unbalanced diets can lead to different diseases. Dietary adjustments have positive effects in the reduction of clinical signs caused by nutritional deficiencies. This case report describes some clinical repercussions in a cat fed with homemade vegetarian diet.
