✨Avances que CAMBIARÁN LA VIDA DE TU GATO en 2025 😺🔬 | Mejoras en alimentación, bienestar y medicina

Well, because according to researchers at the University of Tokyo, all the studies could possibly be completed by 2025 and a license could be obtained to be put on the market. Up until now, all we had was a fairly promising scientific study. However, there are still some unknowns and questions surrounding this treatment or vaccine, so to speak. For example, we don't know how often it would have to be administered, how effective it would be, or whether our cat's life expectancy would increase or simply remain the same. Because who knows, other diseases that aren't directly kidney related could affect them. And of course, something we still don't know until it's on the market is how much this treatment will cost and whether it will be affordable for everyone. But anyway, I find it interesting and we'll be waiting to see if it finally reaches the markets. Another advance that will probably improve the lives of our cats is the herbals. I don't know what they're called in Spanish. Well, the accessories that indicate well how the body works. They're not strange to us at all. For example, the typical smartwatch that tells us our heart rate, or lately how much oxygen there is in our blood. But for our cats, that is still practically science fiction. However, given that some dog collars were developed last year that could have this same function. For example, what I just told you about the smartwatch for our canine companion, it is possible that they will soon begin to be developed for our cats. For our cats, there are already some smart devices. For example, the typical microchip that in addition to identifying the cat, also tells us its body temperature, helping us to tell if the cat has a fever or not, without having to take a thermometer and making the consultation less uncomfortable. Or, for example, there are also collars that have GPS and that help locate the cat. They are very useful for feline companions who go outside, who have free access to go out into the neighborhood and thus be able to clearly identify where they are. Therefore, everything indicates that the industry is going to make our cats lives increasingly more technological. It may not be in the form of devices that our cats will wear on their backs, because as we know, they don't like to wear anythal. We have already seen smart feeders, smart water bowls, smart smart litter boxes. And the industry will surely continue to come up with toys that can increasingly entertain our cats because they adapt to their lifestyle or their activity levels, or for example, if they like to play more at night than during the day. All of this used correct monoclonal antibodies. That means we don't have to use non steroidal anti inflammatories. Well, for example Metacon or Meloxica that could be given to some cats. What happens? Non steroidal anti inflammatories can affect kidney function. And as we know, our cats are a little delicate in that part of their body. If we start using these types of much more innovative treatments, it is more likely that we will increase the survival time of our cats and thus improve their quality of life. All this opens a window of hope for continued research into these types of molecules that are somewhat innovative and can help us improve the lives of our cats in many different situations, especially with diseases that are chronic and require long term treatment. And I don't want to finish discussing advances in feline medicine without mentioning that famous vaccine that promised to extend the life of our cats to 30 years. Well, I don't know if you remember, but we started talking about it in 2024, just a little bit as an advance that could be made in feline medicine. As I already told you, although we spoke at the time about a vaccine, that's why I put it in quotes, because it's not really a vaccine. It doesn't prevent a disease, but rather a treatment that could possibly be applied by injection. That's why people call it a vaccine in general. But it's not. What does this treatment do? Well, it improves the activity of macrophages. Macrophages are cells that are in our cat's body or in our own body and that are responsible for, so to speak, eating or eliminating cells that have died and that no longer have a function in the body. What happens? In order for macrophages to identify which cells they need to eat, they first have to be marked by molecules in the body. In cats, the molecules that mark these cells do not work as well as in other species, and that is why many of them remain uneaten by macrophages. The treatment improves the activity of these marks that are placed on cells that no longer work so that macrophages can eliminate them. For example, these waste cells would not accumulate in our cat's kidneys, improving the cat's kidney function and extending its life expectancy. And why am I bringing up this topic again in this video? Well, because according to researchers at the University of Tokyo, all the studies could possibly be completed by 2025 and a license could be obtained to be put on the market. Up until now, all we had was a fairly promising scientific study. However, there are still some unknowns and questions surrounding this treatment or vaccine, so to speak. For Example, we don't know how often it would have to be administered, how effective it would be, or whether our cat's life expectancy would increase or simply remain the same. Because who knows, other diseases that aren't directly kidney related could affect them. And of course, something we still don't know until it's on the market is how much this treatment will cost and whether it will be affordable for everyone. But anyway, I find it interesting and we'll be waiting to see if it finally reaches the markets. Another advance that will probably improve the lives of our cats is the heribles. I don't know what they're called in Spanish. Well, the accessories that indicate well how the body works. They're not strange to us at all. For example, the typical smartwatch that tells us our heart rate are how much oxygen there is in our blood. But for our cats, that is still practically science fiction. However, given that some dog collars were developed last year that could have this same function. For example, what I just told you about the smartwatch for our canine companion, it is possible that they will soon begin to be developed for our cats. For our cats, there are already some smart devices. For example, the typical microchip that in addition to identifying the cat, also tells us its body temperature, helping us to tell if the cat has a fever or not, without having to take a thermometer and making the consultation less uncomfortable. Or, for example, there are also collars that have GPS and that help locate the cat. They are very useful for feline companions who go outside, who have free access to go out into the neighborhood and thus be able to clearly identify where they are. Therefore, everything indicates that the industry is going to make our cats lives increasingly more technological. It may not be in the form of devices that our cats will wear on their backs, because as we know, they don't like to wear anything on their fur, but rather by improving their living conditions in general. For example, we have already seen smart feeders, smart water bowls, smart litter boxes, and the industry will surely continue to come up with toys that can increasingly entertain our cats because they adapt to their lifestyle or their activity levels, or for example, if they like to play more at night than during the day. All of this, used correctly, can undoubtedly improve our cat's quality of life. Improvements in our cat's diet. I'm referring specifically to additives. The industry has recently been developing some additives that are very beneficial. Not all additives are bad. Look, I'm going to give you an example that I always talk about when I talk about cat food. Taurine. Taurine is lost in the normal manufacturing process of feed or care kibble balanced dry cat food. Why? Well, because the ingredients are heated and taurine, which is an amino acid, cannot withstand that heat and is lost. What happens? Our cats cannot live without taurine because it has very important effects on their health. For example, on their heart or their eyes. In these cases, what does the industry do? Well, they add an additive called taurine. When the food has finished being processed, it is no longer heated and extra taurine is added to provide our cats with the amount they need to. Although, well, it always depends on the brand. And that is why we have to pay close attention to the label. In the same way, there are many additives that have positive effects on our cat's food. For example, antioxidants are present in many vegetables. However, the ones that are being used the most lately are those that are currently approved vitamin C and vitamin E. And antioxidants play a very important role in our cat's food. They prevent it from going rancid. And this not only affects the flavor, but also the organoleptic properties of the feed and its nutritional properties and how our cats receive all the nutrients that the food provides. They are currently developing one that prevents food from causing allergies in animals that are allergic to that food. Logically, it would be great if your cat is allergic and could eat any type of food that has that additive added to it. I have also been reading about other additives being researched that provide general health benefits, such as reducing inflammation. The thing is that for an additive to reach the market, it has to go through a fairly lengthy approval and authorization process that also involves a bureaucratic process, a lot of paperwork, a lot of studies that have to be submitted, and in the end, it ends up delaying the additive being present in cat food for a long time. That is why at the moment the regulation is being changed. Not to reduce safety, because proof will also have to be provided that the additives are safe, but to reduce bureaucracy and shorten the deadlines a little so that improvements can be made sooner, at least here in Europe. But anyway, we are left with the idea that the food industry, for our animal companions, is moving forward. It is researching new additives that can improve their lives. And that is undoubtedly good news. And whether we like it or not, AI or artificial intelligence is here to stay. And it is true that it is great. The most famous ones are the applications that are currently being used, such as GPT chat, which can, I don't know, write A song or all that kind of stuff. But it can also be applied to the health of our feline companions. How well it's already being done. There are agreements that have allowed artificial intelligence applications to be implemented or that type of applications to be developed to improve the capabilities of veterinarians themselves, because they help them reach more precise diagnoses. In fact, I've read that an agreement has been signed to bring these types of applications to veterinarians who work with more limited resources. For example, they are very useful for feline companions who go outside, who have free access to go in countries that are not as economically developed, and that would also improve the quality of life of cats in those areas. Along these same lines, there are artificial intelligences currently under development that can improve our ability to interpret X rays, tags, misses out into the neighborhood and thus be able to clearly identify where they are. Therefore, everything indicates that the industry is going to make our cats lives increasingly more technological. It may not be in the form of devices that our cats will wear on their backs because as we know, they don't like to wear any fries. Well, in all these imaging tests that are called that, what we see when an animal gets sick are changes. And sometimes these changes are very, very subtle that veterinarians, or for example, an eye that is not very trained to see them, can miss. What artificial intelligence does is detect these subtle changes and say, hey, there's something going on here, maybe you forgot to look at it. This is undoubtedly great news because it helps us improve diagnosis at earlier stages, before major changes have occurred in the organs of, for example, our cats. More things. There are companies that are dedicated to, for example, producing blood diagnosis machines for our cats. And these machines are used in many veterinary clinics. These same companies are trying to fine tune an AI, an artificial intelligence that helps us with the changes that occur in our cats. Analyses are in the tests that they are given in the clinics to better identify what type of disease they are suffering from. And something more mundane not long ago, well, I think we talked on the secondary channel about an application that was available for mobile phones that helped us interpret our cats meows to know what they want at all times. Well, I've also read, although I don't know exactly what the application is, that artificial intelligence is starting to be used to improve the application's ability to detect what your cat wants at all times. This seems a little more complicated to get right to me, but hey, who knows, Maybe science is advancing a lot and they'll surprise me. And all this is great, but There are some things we have to consider. To start with, eyes are not currently infallible. It's not uncommon to find CHGPTs that have been generated based on invented historical facts that never existed, or manipulated images where a person has seven fingers on one hand, so that we can see that their current level of development does not make them 100% reliable tools. And continuing on this topic, artificial intelligence can be very good for supporting a veterinarian's clinical judgment, not replacing it. There may be a small change in an X ray or in a test, a small deviation, and that would be completely normal for that cat. That's what the veterinarian's criteria are for, so that in the end they can put all the pieces of the puzzle together and say, hey, this is what's happening to your cat. This small change isn't significant. It's not causing any problems. So these tools are great, but not as a second opinion from an expert or as another criterion to listen to, but rather as support for the veterinarian's work, which can greatly help them carry out their clinical practice, but which in the end is just that, another work tool. That's why the veterinarian's criteria are so important, because they're the ones who gather all this information and give it meaning that applies to what's happening to the cat at that moment. So. Well, I'm very happy to know that research continues to improve the lives of our cats, who are always the great forgotten ones. And that's why we're going to be very attentive throughout this year to find out if these advances really happen and if they end up having a positive impact on her cat's health. And I'll be here to tell you all about it. What do you think of these developments? Are you more convinced or are you a bit skeptical? Well, leave me a comment so I can find out. Also, if you liked the video, you can give us a like and subscribe if you haven't already. If you really, really want to support us, give us a big thank you. And remember that we have a secondary channel here on YouTube called Questions and Answers from a Veterinarian. Come and check it out. And before we go, we have to meet over here we have Jaz the cat and Nano, a rabbit. Marta Perez greets us from Madrid. And what a coincidence. In second place, we have Kata, who is a kitten, and Burro, who is also a rabbit, and Edgar and Arlonda greet us from Chile. It seems like he's ready, but no, we wouldn't have found him, even if we were looking for him. And we say goodbye to Nina, who has this way of telling her human to hold her while she works on the computer. He greets us with his human companion, Odin. Thank you very much for following the Happy Pets and Families channel. And we'll see you in the next video and throughout this year. Oh, that's right, silly. I'm fine with you not telling me anything about me. You were asleep during your morning nap, right? Morning nap, afternoon nap, night nap, nap at all hours of the day. What, you can't find the posture like that, perhaps, as usual, Right, look, we're going to react here to some kittens, right? That's the end of the collaboration. It's come so that of course, now come all the contraindications and that this condition in them is not affecting their life in any way. No, but I also want to say that if in the future one develops in which you put four things in your cat that you've seen in your house, it could lead to an erroneous diagnosis and that it may not be true. And in the end, that's not why it's so important. Now I have to emphasize that this is why the veterinarian's opinion is so important, right? It's very good. I mean, I've seen it and it's very good. And it's true that, listen, that an artificial intelligence can more or less interpret an X ray, a tag, or tell you, hey, this is what's happening here. Okay, but in the end you have to be the one who says, hey, this is why this is happening to your expense. Well, look, next time you put yourself yourself there as if you were, ah, what's her name? Mercedes Herrero. Who is Mercedes Guerrero? Who were you? Nieves Herrero. And do the interview for me. Oh, and that before you could see your wig from behind. And that's why we're going to be very vigilant during this 2025. Oh, I didn't say 2025, in any case, so.
