Spaying in Cat: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

A 11th month old local non-descriptive breed cat having 2.7 kg body weight was brought to Teaching and Training Pet Hospital and Research Center (TTPHRC), Purbachal, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The owner wished to spay the cat for birth control. As there was no birth control pill available for animals, we decided to do spaying as a birth control measure. Before spaying, the cat was examined physically e.g. Temperature, anemia, dehydration etc. Ultrasonographic screening was done to know whether the cat was pregnant or not. The surgery for spaying was performed using traditional open method of surgical approach with general anesthesia. The operation was completed successful and cat was suggested to keep in clean squeeze cage to observe for 7 days. It was also suggested to provide antiseptic povidone iodin ointment on the incision site until complete healing. There were no complications during following-up the spayed cat. This operation procedure was very simple, unexpensive and very effective for spaying in cat. The present case study was planned to perform the traditional surgical technique of spaying in cat
