Abstract: A 2.5-years old non-descript queen was presented to the Faculty of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Barkachha Mirzapur, in the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex. Based on the information received from the owner's, the queen had completed gestation period but was unable to deliver the fetuses and she was slightly depressed, had stopped eating and drinking a day before. Gynaeco-clinical observation including abdominal palpation and pervaginal palpation revealed that cervix was partially open and showed no signs of parturition. After an ultrasound scan, it was discovered that uterus contained 2 to 3 viable fetuses. A cesarean section was performed on the queen, and live fetuses were extracted from the uterus. All of the kittens who received neonatal care survived. The queen miraculously recovered after the post-operative treatment.
