Uterine prolapse is a rare and serious obstetrical emergency in felines, typically diagnosed more than 48 hours after parturition or abortion. This study aims to assess the therapeutic and surgical approaches for three mixed-breed cats that developed post-partum uterine prolapse. The diagnostic process included a thorough clinical examination, laboratory blood tests, and Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) for accurate assessment. Treatment was carried out in two stages: the first involved uterine repositioning, followed by ventral midline laparotomy and ovariohysterectomy. All surgeries were conducted under general anaesthesia, ensuring patient safety. Post-operative care consisted of antibiotics, analgesia, and diligent monitoring to ensure proper recovery and prevent complications.
