Abstract

A one-year-old pregnant Persian cat was presented to the outpatient medicine unit of university veterinary hospital, Kokkala, Thrissur, Kerala, with the complaint of sudden onset swelling of the mammary glands. Physical examination of mammary glands showed severely affected right and left inguinal mammary gland. On mammary ultrasonography, enlarged inguinal mammary lobes were visualized as a well-circumscribed solid mass of granular, slightly hyperechoic texture, with regularly delimited margins. Based on the history, clinical signs and ultrasonographic imaging the case was diagnosed as feline mammary fibroepithelial hyperplasia (FMFH), mammary ultrasonography. The animal was conservatively treated with amoxicillin-clavulanate (@12.5 mg/kg orally 12-hour interval); topical daily massage of Aloe vera emollient gel. Animal showed an uneventful recovery and kittened three live kittens.
