Abstract

Feline hyperesthesia syndrome is a disease that is still poorly understood, usually of an idiopathic nature, which can cause several clinical signs, related to extreme sensitivity in an area of the column, almost always on the animal's back. The diagnosis is based on the exclusion mainly of dermatological and neurological alterations, and presents a variety of medications as therapy. The present study described a case of feline hyperesthesia in a two-year-old male, castrated, which did not respond satisfactorily to conventional treatments, requiring the implementation of integrative therapeutic options, such as aromatherapy and Cannabis oil.
