A sad passing the other day of a tiger in a local zoo which seems to have had a diaphragmatic hernia from birth.

CDH is definitely not limited to humans. I also read somewhere it is most common in cats in the animal kingdom.

The X-ray technician at our family doctor had a cat that had a diaphragmatic hernia. She paid for his surgical repair and he's as healthy as ever now
How sad. Didn't realize was common in animals.

Wow, that's interesting. Is it as common in cats as it is in humans?

Don't quote me on it, but I read somewhere (which I can't find the article now) that it is as common in cats, but rarely diagnosed.

Well how about that. I never heard of it until Alyssa was diagnosed with it and never thought it would be common in cats. Very interesting.
