Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (Feline)

Test Overview:

Avoid breeding affected cats. Cats with clinical or confirmed hormonal abnormalities consistent with HH should not be bred, as the condition affects fertility and reproductive success. Evaluate reproductive health thoroughly before breeding. A full breeding soundness examination (BSE) including physical exam, hormone testing, and possibly imaging of reproductive organs should be conducted for potential breeding cats to identify any underlying endocrine or anatomical reproductive issues. Genetic basis and testing. If HH is suspected or found to have a hereditary component in a breeding line, genetic counseling and testing (if available) should be used to avoid propagating the condition. Selective breeding. Preferentially breed cats with normal reproductive hormone profiles, normal fertility, and no signs of delayed or absent sexual maturation. Veterinary oversight. Regular veterinary reproductive health monitoring is advised during breeding programs to detect early any abnormalities that can impact fertility or kitten health.
