Bilateral uterine prolapse in queen: case study

Abstract

An 10-month-old primiparus queen was sent to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology within the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine from Iași, with a prominence of a mass through the vulva immediately after calving. Following the clinical examination, the diagnosis of bilateral uterine prolapse was established. Uterine prolapse in cats is rare and is a relatively uncommon complication of parturition. This pathology is an obstetrical emergency and requires immediate intervention. The treatment of uterine prolapse consisted in restoring the uterus to its normal position and preventing or eliminating uterine infection. In the present case the manual reduction of the prolabated portion was not possible and a two-step ovariohysterectomy was performed: ovariectomy and amputation of the uterine body. After ovariohysterectomy cat fully recovered.
