Abstract

A cat was presented with abdominal evisceration as a sequel of dog bite. On physical examination, the intestinal loops were found to be viable which was determined by its normal temperature, peristaltic movement, color and texture. The eviscerated mass was decontaminated with normal saline and antibiotic solution and then surgically replaced back into the peritoneal cavity. The cat was reported to have gone through an uneventful recovery.
