Vaginal rupture due to dystocia in a cat that resulted in postrenal azotemia case report

Year 2007, Issue: 3, 35 - 41, 31.12.2007

Abstract

A 5-year-old black and
white pregnant cat was admitted to our clinic with bloody discharge from the
vagina with no evidence of labor. An exploratory laparotomy was performed and a
vaginal rupture was revealed. One of the kittens was totally in the abdominal
cavity while the other was partially so. In this case, several options for
diagnosis and treatment are discussed with special emphasis on dystocia.
