Like humans, cats and dogs can have one or several disabilities. A disability may be Congenital--meaning, present immediately at birth OR that happened during the birth. A disability that happens after a period of health is called an Acquired Disability--this means it was not present at birth but happened at some point in a person or animal's lifetime. Acquired Disabilities can be from an accident, deliberate harm, or an illness. A few examples of Acquired Disabilities might be:
- a bone that does not heal correctly after being broken;
- paralysis of a paw or limb after a fall or being hit by a car
- eyesight problems due to aging or injury
Acquired Disabilities are different, however, from illnesses or conditions that develop over a lifetime. For example, pets can develop Diabetes, hyperthyroidism, heart murmur, kidney stones or recurrent kidney infections, or even mild kidney failure that eventually can lead to death.
