Is your cat lethargic?
Does your cat have muscle pain?
Does your cat show exercise intolerance?
Your cat doesn't show any observable symptom of L-Carnitine deficiency. L-carnitine is important for muscle tissue to receive energy and function normally. A deficiency in this nutrient can create a negative impact on the cat's body. The affected cat will also have an enlarged heart (dilated cardiomyopathy) and may have heart muscle failure. There are no known methods of prevention, other than maintaining a healthy diet for your cat.
Your cat shows one observable symptom of L-Carnitine deficiency. Observable signs of this condition are mostly non-specific so it cannot be said with certainty that your cat does suffer from it. The affected cat will also have an enlarged heart (dilated cardiomyopathy) and may have heart muscle failure. To properly diagnose this deficiency, heart (endomyocardial) muscle biopsies must be performed to measure carnitine levels.

Sreten null
Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
