External hysterectomy to treat uterine prolapse in a domestic cat
Downloads
Uterine prolapse is the eversion of the uterus through the cervix into the vagina. This is a rare postpartum complication in cats. This report aims to describe the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and surgical management of uterine prolapse. A 2-year-old female domestic cat presented with bicornuate uterine prolapse protruding through the vulva. The cat had a history of parturition, and the prolapse occurred soon after the birth of the third kitten. The uterine prolapse was treated with external hysterectomy and ovariectomy. Postoperative care included administration of the antibiotic cefotaxime sodium with anti-inflammatory meloxicam. One week after surgery, the cat had fully recovered, and no complications were reported.
