Hydrometra is an uterine pathology caused by the accumulation of a non-infectious, non-inflammatory, clear and sterile fluid in the uterine lumen. Hydrometra is usually caused by progesterone hormone and can be diagnosed by transabdominal ultrasonography, vaginal cytology and haemogram-biochemistry analysis. Hydrometra cases can occur in all species and are rarely observed in cats. The material of this case report consists of a 3.5 years old female Tabby cat, weighing 3 kg, who was brought to Erzurum Atatürk University Animal Hospital with a request for ovariohysterectomy. As a result of clinical examinations, unilateral hydrometra was detected in the operated cat. In conclusion, it should be kept in mind that hydrometra is a non-infectious uterine pathology and may occur in patients with good general condition.
