Abstract

Two 1-year old primiparous
cats were referred to the Small Animal Clinic of Department of Obstetrics and
Gynaecology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Istanbul University two weeks
apart with a protrusion of a mass through vagina. Depending on clinical and
ultrasonographic findings, unilateral uterine prolapse was diagnosed in both of
the cats. Uterine prolapse was occured just after the last delivery in Case 1,
and was occured 3 days after parturition in Case 2. Ovariohysterectomy was
performed following manual reduction and intra-abdominal retraction of the
prolapsed tissue in both cats. According to the author’s knowledge, this is the
first report of uterine prolapse in a cat 3 days after parturition.
