Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hello all. My 8 year old son (Asperger's) walked past me and I smelled cat urine. After sniffing everything in the area and then his clothing, I couldn't pin- point where it was coming from so I gave him a shower and then I realized it was coming from his breath! I looked it up online and came up with a pediatricians website listing odors and what they may mean and it said: a.. Cat's urine - odor of cats syndrome (beta-methyl-crotonyl-CoA-carboxylase deficiency) Does anyone know what this means?? Thank you either way, Carol C.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I don't know if this applies, but I will add my experience. My NT DS had awful breath. Brushing her teeth/tongue had absolutely no effect on the smell. Now I would describe her breath as " rancid " almost like vomit breath. This eventually lead my to diagnosing her yeast. Yours sounds like it may be more of an ammonia issues. I'm no expert, and have just started down this road myself, but I thought I would share. I'm sure there will be more help posted soon. -Jenna Re: [ ] cat urine breath? Hello all. My 8 year old son (Asperger's) walked past me and I smelled cat urine.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Thank You for your reply. His behavior last night was very disturbing to watch, he was very ocd like recounting his money and speaking repeatedly the same story about a yugioh trading card and recounting the cash to buy more...He had another shower, his eyes were dilated and he was hyper.Maybe it does have something to do with the yeast...I searched for hours online and have come up with renal failure/kidney issues to biotin deficiency and the original methyl CoA long word-that-I-originally-found-online deficiency. I am hoping the DAN! doc has an answer. Right now, his breath doesn't smell at all and he hasn't brushed his teeth yet either.. Just prior to the smell last night, he was in a car with his respite worker for a 15 minute road trip to the Mc's drive thru for a yugioh toy they had (he is vegetarian, gf/cf and feingold diet so we don't eat there, so it wasn't the food) . Her car has many perfumes and air fresheners. I am wondering if it could have been a hypersensitive reaction to these chemicals? Either way I am open to any opinions, thanks a lot, Carol C.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Does his urine smell like baking bread? That pungent smell? Have you ever tried testing the urine/saliva pH?
