Management of post-queening unilateral uterine horn prolapse with involvement of the uterine body in a Persian queen cat

Abstract

A two-year-old female Persian cat, queened 8 hours ago, was presented to the Small Animal Obstetrics and Gynaecology unit with a protruding mass through the vulvar region. On clinical examination, rectal temperature was 103.1°F. On physical examination, prolapse of the uterine horn with the uterine body was noticed. After haematology and serum biochemistry analysis, it was decided to proceed with surgical management. Under injectable anaesthesia, by mid-ventral laparotomy incision, the prolapsed uterine horn was reduced, repositioned, and an ovariohysterectomy was done as per standard operating procedure. After 7 days of post-operative management, the cat recovered uneventfully.
