Abstract
Phimosis is the inability to advance the penis through the preputial orifice. This condition in its congenital form is infrequent in cats and has a low prevalence when compared to the canine condition. Diagnosis is based on the physical exam and the treatment of choice is often preputioplasty. The following case describes a six-week-old feline patient with signs of strangury, pollakiuria, excessive licking, and vocalizations when urinating. The physical exam encountered a significant stenosis of the preputial orifice. A circular preputioplasty was the therapy performed and three days later the patient presented with recurrent signs. Excessive granulation tissue was observed around the surgical wound, prompting further corrective surgery. This time the patient showed immediate resolution of the signs of distress that after 1 year have not recurred. The objective of this study is to contribute information about clinical-surgical decisions and the principle complications presented by cats with phimosis.
