title: Primary lymphoedema in a kitten.
abstract: Primary lymphoedema refers to a swelling of a part or parts of the body due to a congenital defect in the lymphatic system. Recently, the patent blue violet dye test has been described as a means of confirming the diagnosis in dogs. This case report demonstrates that the dye test is a simple and useful diagnostic test for the diagnosis of primary lymphoedema in the cat also.
