Abstract

The most common uterine disease affecting cats is pyometra. A six-year-old local cat was presented to Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University's Teaching and Training Pet Hospital and Research Centre in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with history of anorexia, chronic emaciation, and vaginal pus discharge before antibiotic therapy. A general physical examination was performed initially, followed by a particular investigation. The uterus felt firmer and more extensive than usual when palpated the abdomen. Then ultrasound examination was performed, which revealed radio-opaque fluid-filled structures in the caudal area of the abdomen. History and the findings confirmed the cat was suffering from pyometra. Then the case was surgically managed by ovariohysterectomy under general anesthesia. Ovarian cysts were found during the surgery. The cat had an uneventful recovery.
