Abstract
A 2-year-old pluriparous domestic shorthair queen was brought to the Madras Veterinary College
Teaching hospital with a history of full-term pregnancy, straining for the past 24 hours and brown vaginal
discharge. Radiography of the abdomen showed presence of 3 fetal skeletons, and ultrasonography
revealed no fetal heartbeat. An emergency caesarean section was performed, and a 720° torsion of the
right uterine horn was revealed. Three dead kittens were delivered, 2 from the right horn and 1 from
the left horn. An ovariohysterectomy was also performed.
