Hi everyone Dr. Leigh here from Your Vet Online and today we're going to be
showing you a video of what we do when we remove a cat's uterus yes we're going to
show you us spaying a cat live on video so if you're one of those people that
have a queasy tummy who can't handle blood and guts turn off the computer
turn off the phone remove this from all sight right now the
rest of you tune in. After prepping the cat meaning we've clipped her we've
cleaned her skin with antiseptic and antibacterial solutions we've made a
skin incision that goes down the midline of her abdomen it cuts through the skin
as well as the a little bit of fat and the Linea Alba we then go in and we try
and find a uterine horn and then we lift this up till we find the ovary what you
can actually see here is the ovary has been extended and we're now placing
ligatures around the ovarian what we call the ovarian stump which there's the
area that's attached to the body wall now that has been tied off and we're
just trimming up those so we do quite a few little sutures here so that it's
nice but knot is nice and tight we trim those up and then here we just either
slice this part off or in this case it just tore nicely and then you can see
that basically the ovary is in is now able to be released from the body wall
now what we then do is we just check to make sure that there is no bleeding on
that ovarian stump and then we place that stump
back into the abdomen now this whole process is repeated on the other side
and then what we do is we actually check we bring up and elevate all that uterus
and we do a suture around the cervical area and this is what we're about to do
in this shot here and that suture goes around all that area and then we can
remove it as this picture shows now this kitten was actually pregnant and that's
why that's a little bit fatter
Puss Puss has just had surgery to remove uterus people
that is a spay surgery and now we're just waiting for her to wake up and she's
nearly ready to have the endotracheal tube removed you can see that she's
she's looking pretty pretty good here we've got her all warm she has some nice these are
bottles of warm water to keep her warm and she's nearly ready to wake up
you can see that she's just moving a little bit and now we're just waiting
for her to take a little swallow and that gives us a sign that we can take
the tube out we don't like to take a tube out before they've swallowed
because just in case they have a problem with the airway and that's so we want to
keep that airway nice and patent for as long as we can so we're just waiting it's
a little bit of a waiting game she looks good though she's all very happy you can
see that she's got a third eyelid that's just come across a little bit it's just
showing the sedation so we took the tube out and we can see that she's all good.
sometimes they have a little bit of a cough and that's just because the tube
has been down the trachea so that people was a cat spay surgery and I hope you
