Özet

The case material consists of a British Shorthair cat, which was brought to Erzurum Atatürk University Veterinary Faculty Animal Hospital, at the age of 15 months and on the 65'th day of pregnancy. Uterine rupture is a phenomenon characterized by disruption of the integrity of the muscular layer of the uterus, which can cause maternal morbidity-mortality and perinatal deaths. Despite all the possibilities of modern medicine, uterine ruptures are one of the biggest causes of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. The diagnosis of the case is made by clinical and ultrasonographic examination findings. Although uterine rupture is a rarer case in cats than dogs, seen as a secondary complication of exogenous oxytocin/prostaglandin administration or difficult delivery, it can also occur due to cesarean section scar, uterine tumor, or trauma. In conclusion, a careful clinical examination and correct treatment method should be chosen in cases characterized by abdominal pain in cats.
