Mimi came for caesarean section.
Hi guys!
Our case today is Mimi - female cat that came to our clinic because of dystocia.
In other words she started giving birth but she wasn't able to do it herself.
It's not as common as in dogs,
cats usually have less problems with dystocia:
not being able to give birth.
She's quite lively. Yeah and she eats and moves a lot.
When a female has a dystocia, no matter if it's a dog or a cat like Mimi, when we do ultrasonography
the main goal for it is to determine is the condition of kittens lethal or not.
We do ultrasound with doppler. It allows us to count kitten's heart rate.
Usually kitten's heart rate should be more or less twice as fast as mothers
and it should never be slower than 180 per minute.
In Mimi's case ultrasound showed us that kitten's condition is starting to be fatal.
Their heart rate was slower than 180 beats per minute.
We also use ultrasound to measure up kitten's organs, to see are they fully developed
and to make sure it's full-term pregnancy and it's time to give birth.
I can see fully formed intestines, so we are ready to give birth.
Ok, fetuses are moving, development of the heart is correct.
After Mimi's ultrasound we have to take her to operating room to make cesarean section,
and we hope with kittens everything will be alright.
