How long does it take for a Scottish Fold cat to develop symptoms and die?

The duration from the onset of symptoms to death in a Scottish Fold cat cannot be directly judged. If the cat has common skin and gastrointestinal diseases, they usually will not affect life and will not lead to death. However, if the cat has severe diseases such as feline distemper or renal failure, timely and correct treatment must be administered or it may pose a threat to life. The duration from the onset of symptoms to death is approximately 1 to 3 years. If the condition continues to worsen, it is recommended that the owner take the Scottish Fold cat to a regular pet hospital for treatment, which can prolong its lifespan.

Reasons why the cat will not die:

If the Scottish Fold cat has gastrointestinal and skin diseases, such as dermatitis, allergies, functional indigestion, gastritis, and gastric ulcers, these do not belong to severe diseases. Active and effective treatment can control the progression of the disease, reduce self-injury, and generally do not pose a threat to life or cause the cat to die.

Reasons why the cat will die:

If the cat has feline distemper or renal failure, feline distemper is an acute, highly contagious disease with a high mortality rate of up to 50% to 80%. Renal failure mainly occurs when renal function is damaged, affecting the normal functioning of renal function, leading to renal failure. Both of these diseases are severe and the duration from onset to death is not long, generally 1 to 3 years.

Care methods during the onset of disease in Scottish Fold cats:

During the disease, good skin hygiene should be maintained, bathing frequently. At the same time, dietary habits should be adjusted, eating small meals instead of overeating. Easily digestible foods such as soft cat food and nutritional supplements should be consumed to replenish nutrients, strengthen the body, and aid in recovery. If the cat's discomfort gradually worsens during the illness, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the hospital for treatment promptly, otherwise it is easy to lead to exacerbation of the condition.
