Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005Follow up on kitty with bad neuter.
I posted yesterday about a little boy kitty at my vets office who had an issue due to his neuter. Well when I picked Harvey up yesterday evening, I asked about him but of course they would only say very little other that they were able to remove the problem. I did not ask what they removed but was happy that he was going to be okay. Howard if you read this do you have any idea what they may have done for him? Or what may have caused his stuff to swell up like that? Skritches, KittyLady > I posted yesterday about a little boy kitty at my vets office who had > an issue due to his neuter.

Elsewhere in the body, it might have not shown much effect, but the problem is that the scrotum is "out there", with limited tubing into the rest of the body. *HUMAN GROSS WARNING* I remember some impressive photographs, in a medical journal, of a man who seemed to be sitting with a purple ummm...cantaloupe in his lap. He had had a blood leak from a vasectomy, which could only drain into the scrotum. Open the scrotum, let it drain, find the bleeder, cauterize or tie it off, stitch the scrotum closed. Excessive fluid in the scrotum, in humans, can lead to a rare and dangerous form of compartment syndrome, Fournier's Gangrene. >> I posted yesterday about a little boy kitty at my vets office who had >> an issue due to his neuter. Well when I picked Harvey up yesterday [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >Excessive fluid in the scrotum, in humans, can lead to a rare and >dangerous form of compartment syndrome, Fournier's Gangrene. *** ANOTHER SQUEEMISH FACTOR WARNING*** "Free air" in the body---such as that caused by a collapsed lung-- can cause the same kind of effect. I saw this once years ago when I was working in an ER as an x-ray tech student. A car accident victim had the same kind of huge swelling and a doctor standing next to me muttered that that was the largest scrotum he had ever seen. I asked him later about it, and he said it can be a common occurance for car crash victims, and even after surgeries that involve forcing bottled air into the trunk of the body to make room for the instruments to move around freely. Free air moves to and collects in whatever place in the body it can find that expands---and loose skin can expand ALOT. I never did find out what they did to a.......um....deal with the problem for the poor fellow, though. Back to topic----I am glad to hear the kitten got the help he needed. > evening, I asked about him but of course they would only say very > little other that they were able to remove the problem.
