🐱 Case Highlight: Hojicha 🐱

Meet Hojicha, an adorable Persian who came to us showing signs of being in heat—even though she had already been spayed before.

After a thorough check and ultrasound examination, we discovered that Hojicha still had her right o***y and uterine horn present. This is something that can occasionally happen, even with proper surgical intent, due to anatomical variation or limited visibility during the first surgery—especially in flank spays.

With the owner’s consent, we performed a second surgery to remove the remaining ovarian tissue. The procedure went smoothly, and Hojicha is now on her way to a more comfortable, heat-free life. 💕

We’d like to emphasize that this situation is not about fault. Spay surgeries can be challenging, and retained ovarian tissue is a known, though uncommon, possibility. What matters most is attentive owners, proper follow-up, and addressing ongoing symptoms when they appear.

💡 For pet owners:
If your spayed cat still shows signs of heat (vocalizing, rolling, restlessness), it’s best to have her checked. Early investigation helps prevent prolonged discomfort and future complications.

Thank you to Hojicha’s owner for trusting us, and to our fellow veterinarians—cases like these remind us that veterinary medicine is always a team effort, even across clinics. 🤍

Wishing Hojicha a smooth recovery and many calm days ahead 🐾
