Torsion of the uterus in a cat

J Am Vet Med Assoc. 1987 Nov 1;191(9):1128-9.

Abstract

An 18-month-old female Himalayan cat was diagnosed as having uterine torsion. Ultrasonography was of value in revealing fetal death, thus prompting immediate surgical intervention. Uterine torsion is a rarely observed complication of mid- to late gestation in the cat. Definitive diagnosis can be achieved only with exploratory laparotomy.
