Hyperesthesia in Cats

Feline Hyperesthesia #hyperesthesia #cat #cutecat #catvideo #catlover #cateducation

These are the symptoms Bean presented with. Symptoms started when she was 4. We managed only with prozac and gabapentin at first but in the last year we’ve added ativan and it made the world of a difference. ❤️ if you feel like your cat has this my best piece of advice for you is to record them doing their behaviors and show it to your vet! #catsoftiktok #cattok #catsoftiktok #catmom #felinehyperesthesia #felinehyperesthesiasyndrome #catparents #kittycat #catlovers #cats

Hyperesthesia can lead to “flea biting” behaviors where the cat turns quickly towards their tail or rear and starts biting but it doesn’t always mean they have fleas. Some cats are just sensitive ‘back there’! Does your cat ever do this? #catgrooming #catfacts #didyouknow #blackcat #vettechlife

Taking him to the vet tomorrow

Possible signs of Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome #felinehyperesthesia #hyperesthesiasyndrome #cats #pet #vet

Hyperesthesia syndrome, also known as feline hyperesthesia syndrome (FHS), is a condition in cats that causes increased sensitivity to touch or pressure, which can lead to severe pain or discomfort Cats with FHS may exhibit a variety of clinical signs, including: Tail thumping, Skin rippling, Hissing, Biting themselves or other cats or people, and Appearing shocked.

Sharing this so others are more aware of this poorly-understood syndrome called feline hyperesthesia. I’ve noticed some of these symptoms for a couple of months and thought that Maverick was just a “weird orange cat”. I was dismissed at the vet when I raised concern over his ears twitching & his erratic zoomies around the house, but when they said his ears look perfectly healthy (no ear mites, ear infection, etc) alarm bells were going off for me. I did my research and pushed hard at the vet for a diagnosis after I had learned about FHS & felt his symptoms were textbook, & we are now on the road to a treatment plan that alleviates his symptoms so he can live his most comfortable life. If your cat has this kind of behavior, you may want to record it & see a vet before writing it off as a silly cat mannerism! This is all still very new & scary & I have a lot to learn but I’m happy to answer questions! And if you have a kitty with FHS, please share some tips/things that have helped you/your kitty through this process ❤️ #fhs #felinehyperesthesia

I love him so much❤️ #LikeAMonarch #SephoraConcealers #catsoftiktok #cats #fyp #felinehyperesthesia #tiktokcats #petsoftiktok

Hes gone to the vet multiple times since the start of this year. From checking his skin, anal glands, & a blood test. We dont have any answers. Why is he doing this? #fhs #felinehyperesthesia #cat #catsoftiktok #veterinarian #fyp

FHS awareness post. Meet our middle cat. Our loveable one braincell boy with Feline Hyperesthesia. We are one of the lucky ones who has a vet that knows about FHS, but so many get ignored or misdiagnosed since FHS is considered rare. If requested I can try to film one of his episodes, but usually I become focused on helping calm and guide him through when they happen. His, thankfully, are mild and aren't an everyday occurrence. #catsoftiktok #cat #FHS #felinehyperesthesia #cbdcat #pet #feline #triooftuxies
