Abstract
This case report is on Caesarean section in a persian cat in Bangladesh, that suffered from
dystocia. A Persian cat with dystocia symptoms was brought to the Teaching and Training Pet
Hospital and Research Center. The fetuses could not be delivered by the cat. The cat had
stopped eating, seemed despondent, had a noticeably enlarged abdomen, and made no apparent
effort to exert itself. Both sides of the abdomen had bony-like features that could be palpated.
Two fetuses appeared on the X-ray. Then an Ultrasonographic (USG) test was performed,
which verified the presence of two fetuses, in a horn of the uterus. There were no fetal
movement. Dystocia was shown to be present in the cat. Two rotten and enormous deceased
kittens were extracted during a Caesarean operation. Besides, an Ovariohysterectomy was
performed after the uterus was discovered to be degraded and offensive-smelling. The queen
totally recovered. Here, a successful C-section and Ovariohysterectomy performed on a Persian
cat in Bangladesh who had severe dystocia
