5 Feb 2019. Chinese New Year.
A veterinary academic video for cat homeowners
Vet 1 spayed the cat 6 months in the past. The proprietor returned with a grievance of swollen areas. She was referred to Vet 2 by Vet 1.
Vet 2 was referred to by Vet 1.
1. Ultrasound. Ventral belly hernia from the herniated omental fat
2. Blood check indicated bacterial infections – neutrophilic leucocytosis. Monocytosis indicated a long-standing an infection. Said to cite $4,000 for the surgical procedure.
Vet 3. The proprietor got here to Toa Payoh Vets. Dr Daniel operated on Feb 4, 2019 (Chinese New Year’s Eve). He confirmed “no hernia” however mastitis and eliminated the 2 bands of swollen mammary tissues. There was no hernia from the spay.
In conclusion, my speculation is that that the cat had a hernia with omental fats showing.
But after 6 months of persistent irritation at space after spay, the blood check confirmed monocytosis. An enhance in monocytes normally means a persistent irritation which appeared within the swollen mammary glands on left and proper. The mammary tissues had turned darkish brown indicating an an infection all through the tissues over the previous 6 months.
These tissues had been excised as darkish brown purulent supplies. There may have been stimulated to swell from residual ovarian tissues or from infections. The proprietor was not pleased with the presence of the swellings and consulted Vet 1 six months after spay..
