Abstract

A cat was reported with history of overdue pregnancy and blackish green vaginal discharges. Per-vaginal examination revealed presence of dead foetus inside the birth canal. The animal was operated with caesarean section on emergency basis. Dead, emaciated, oversized foetus was removed and the queen had a uneventful recovery.
