A case report on surgical management of C-section followed by spaying in a cat

Abstract

This case study set out to execute cat cesarean section (C-section) followed by spaying using the standard surgical method. A 4.5 kg, 4 years old female cat of local breeds was brought to the Teaching & Training Pet Hospital and Research Center (TTPHRC) in Dhaka during our internship. The queen was pregnant and had given to one kitten 36 hour earlier, but newborn was died and she was unable to deliver the remaining fetuses and there was no straining efforts. So the cat was physically evaluated before going to decision and measurements taken for things like body temperature, anemia, and dehydration etc. To determine any abnormalities and to know actual kitten numbers, a x-ray screening was performed. Hematological and biochemical tests were also done. So the surgeon made decision to do C-section and then the owner gave permission to do the C-section with spaying the cat in order to reduce its aggression and stop it from further reproducing. Using general anesthesia, a standard open surgical technique was used to perform the surgical process. The procedure proceeded smoothly, and the cat was recommended to be monitored for seven days in a sterile squeeze cage. Additionally, it was recommended to apply povidone iodine ointment as an antibiotic until the wound fully healed. During the patient's follow up, there were no problems. This surgical procedure for cat was really easy, reasonably priced, and highly successful
