Abstract
This case report deals with the clinical management of uterine prolapse in a 3.5 years old Persian cat with the history of prior parturition. The prolapsed mass was displaying congestion, enlargement, edema and mild straining with no lacerations or injuries. After thorough cleaning, reduction of edema and antiseptic dressing, the prolapsed uterus was repositioned properly. Purse string suture was applied to prevent reoccurrence. The queen showed good response to the manual correction, with no complications. This report demonstrates effective clinical management of postpartum uterine prolapse by manual repositioning in a queen cat avoiding surgical intervention.
