[Uterine inversion and prolapse in a cat].
Inversion and prolapse of the uterus in cats is a rare complication of parturition. It is usually observed within a few hours after a previously normal birth, though it may also be observed during parturition. Possible complications are discussed. Possible forms of treatment are also reviewed. In simple uncomplicated cases, the manual reposition is to be preferred. In other cases, amputation may also be contemplated, although there are drawbacks to this method. In many cases, particularly when complications have occurred, combined laparotomy and ovariohysterectomy is preferable.
