Cat C-Section
At Accessible Veterinary Care in Milton, FL, our team provides expert surgical care to ensure the health and safety of the mother cat and her kittens.
When Is a C-Section Necessary?
A c-section may be required if a cat experiences difficulty during labor, a condition known as dystocia. Common signs that indicate the need for surgical intervention include prolonged labor without delivering kittens, excessive straining without progress, signs of distress, or a history of complications in previous pregnancies. Other cases may involve medical conditions such as uterine inertia, where the muscles of the uterus fail to contract effectively, or if a kitten is too large to pass through the birth canal.
In cases where a scheduled c-section is recommended, such as for certain brachycephalic breeds or cats with known reproductive challenges, our team works closely with pet owners to determine the best timing and approach for the procedure.
Due to the nature of Accessible Veterinary Care’s business model, all animals that receive a C-section at our facility will be spayed.
Benefits of a C-Section for Your Cat
Life-Saving Intervention
A timely c-section can protect both the mother and her kittens from serious health risks.
Safe Delivery
This procedure ensures kittens are delivered safely, reducing complications from difficult labor.
Reduced Stress and Exhaustion
A c-section prevents prolonged labor, helping the mother recover with less strain.
Comprehensive Monitoring
Our veterinary team closely monitors your cat’s condition before, during, and after the procedure.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Before surgery, a thorough examination and diagnostics, such as ultrasounds or x-rays, help assess the health of the mother and kittens. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, with careful monitoring to maintain stability. Once the kittens are delivered, they are immediately assessed and, if necessary, provided with assistance to ensure they begin breathing normally. The mother cat is then sutured, and post-operative care begins to help her recover comfortably.
