We should consider further diagnostics since our physical exam indicates he seems to not be developing correctly

# data[].attributes.body
There are several findings that indicate further testing should be done for Count Chocula to rule out underlying disease as the reason for his signs

# data[].attributes.body
We have concerned that count chocula might have stunted growth and would like to run some diagnostics to confirm that this isn’t a congenital issue or something present from birth

# data[].attributes.headline
Based on Count Chocolas PE and since this has been evident since birth I believe we might have an underlying medical problem.

while Chocula seems healthy there are a few things we want to keep an eye on to make sure we keep him happy and healthy

# data[].attributes.body
I do want us to monitor Count Chocula overtime to evaluate his growth and make sure he is up to health

# data[].attributes.body
We want to keep an eye on CCs growth to make sure that he is meeting the benchmarks for his age and breed. Based on where he’s at now, I think he may have an endocrine condition that is causing stunted growth, but this is something we will continue to monitor

# data[].attributes.body
I want to continue to monitoring his growth as he ages. Yes, a small stature could be explained by him being the runt of the litter. However, there are multiple signs upon examining him that lead to believe he may have an underlying disorder he’s had since birth. Let’s discuss some more diagnostics.

I would like to continue seeing Chocola although she may just be the runt of the litter there can also be a chance she is a Munchkin.

Whilst his small stature could be normal, his clinical signs make us more concerned that there is a strong potential of an underlying hormonal issue. We recommend further testing to be sure.

# data[].attributes.body
Chocola is small compare to other cats at his age, it might be individual genetic or a growth hormone deficiency.

# data[].attributes.body
I do think that count chocola is smaller than average and there’s a couple different reasons that could be, he could be a runt, it could be his breed, or there could be something else going on that’s causing some hormone changes and for him to be a bit smaller and stunted.

# data[].attributes.body
By looking at his physical features and not having genetic testing i’m not positive he is a full munchkin cat and he may have some underlining issues present.

# data[].attributes.body
From what I am seeing in his exam, it looks like he may have something going on with his endocrine or hormonal system. If you are interested, I would like to further investigate with some testing.

# data[].attributes.body
We have some concerns that Choc’s body may not be producing the substances needed for his normal growth, so we’d like to run a couple blood tests to see what’s going on.

Hey Miss Chola, sorry for keeping you waiting. I can’t lie this little chocolate cutie is adorable. I wish you could stay here with me, but I guess you got first tips now during our exam. There are a couple things that I have noticed that bring up with some concerns that I want to address before I sent you that chocolate brownie home today things like his teeth, not interrupting on time his ears curling over his short limbs and big block he had on something that typically see in kittens and the fact that he’s a little cold and not bright and alert right now given us all the Lovins also raises some concerns this one disease process called feline congenital hypothyroidism. I know it sounds really scary, but it’s actually just one quick test that we could run they can help point us in the right direction if that’s what’s going on do you think that’s something that we can run today just so we can settle our worries.

There are some concerns for developmental issues vs expected munchkin breed traits. We should recheck in 2-4 weeks. At that time we can do some blood test if we still feel the same.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on our physical exam, his body appears to be stunted in growth outside the normal “Munchkin look”

# data[].attributes.body
“While it is possible that he could be the runt of the litter, he has other aspects of his body composition that has me concerned for an underlying medical condition. I would like to further investigate a potential cause and continue to monitor him as he grows as each of his kitten visits”
