A Rare Case of Rectal Prolapse in Synchrony with Jejunal Intussusception in a Kitten

摘要

A three months old female domestic short hair breed cat was brought to the hospital for prolapsed intestinal mass from the rectum. Animal had a previous history of rectal prolapse and which was treated by perianal pursestring suture at the age of twomonths. On clinical examination the condition was diagnosed as rectal prolapse. Pre-operative blood was collected for haematological examination. The animal was stabilized with intravenous fluid therapy and midventral celiotomy was performed. The condition was confirmed as rectal prolapse and jejunal intussusception. Rectal prolapse was corrected and colopexy was done. Intussusception was manually corrected and noble plication was done to prevent recurrence. Post-operatively the animal was maintained with intravenous fluid and antibiotic therapy for three days and seven days respectively. Skin sutures were removed on post-operative day and the animal made an uneventful recovery.
