Studi Kasus: Penanganan Prolapsus Ani dengan Enterektomi pada Kucing Domestik di Rumah Sakit Hewan Jawa Barat

Abstract

Domestic cats are one of the types of animals commonly kept as pets
in Indonesia. Stray cats are a type of domestic cat that can also be
kept as pets because they are capable of socializing with humans.
However, due to their behavioral patterns and the lack of proper pet
management, stray cats are often exposed to diseases and can become
carriers for other cats. On September 9, 2024, a male cat named Kucil,
approximately 4 months old and weighing around 2 kg, was brought
to the West Java Provincial Animal Hospital with a complaint of a
mass protruding from the anus. The purpose of this case study is to
determine the diagnosis and management of prolapsed rectum in
domestic cats. The diagnostic methods used included anamnesis,
physical examination, and supporting tests, such as blood hematology.
The physical examination revealed a body temperature of 38.5°C and
a capillary refill time (CRT) of less than 2 seconds. Upon performing
an inspection of the anus, a mass was found protruding through the
anus, leading to the diagnosis of prolapsed rectum in Kucil. The
treatment involved an enterectomy or surgical removal of the intestine
that had prolapsed from the anus. Post-operative therapy included
antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and vitamins
