Studi Kasus: Peran Paramedis dalam Penanganan Prolapsus Uterus pada Kucing Persia di DITPOLSATWA

Abstract

Prolapsus uterus merupakan kondisi darurat reproduksi pada hewan betina yang ditandai dengan keluarnya uterus melalui vulva, umumnya terjadi pascapartus. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan peran paramedis veteriner dalam pemeriksaan penunjang dan penanganan kasus polapsus uterus pada kucing Persia di Direktorat Polisi Satwa (DITPOLSATWA). Metode yang digunakan adalah studi kasus deskriptif pada satu ekor kucing betina berumur 3 tahun dengan keluhan massa keluar dari vulva setelah melahirkan. Data diperoleh melalui anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisik, hematologi, dan radiografi. Hasil menunjukkan prolapsus uterus disertai edema jaringan dan respons inflamasi berupa leukositosis serta anemia ringan. Paramedis veteriner berperan dalam menunjang keberhasilan penanganan melalui pemeriksaan fisik, persiapan operasi dan pasien, pemasangan infus, pemberian terapi sesuai instruksi dokter hewan, asistensi pembedahan, pemantauan selama anestesi dan operasi, serta perawatan pascaoperasi. Penanganan yang cepat dan tepat mendukung keberhasilan terapi dan pemulihan pasien.

Uterine prolapse is a reproductive emergency in female animals characterized by the protrusion of the uterus through the vulva, most commonly occurring postpartum. This study aimed to describe the role of veterinary paramedics in the diagnostic examination and management of a uterine prolapse case in a Persian cat at the Directorate of Animal Police (DITPOLSATWA). The study employed a descriptive case study involving a 3 yearold female Persian cat presented with a uterine mass protruding from the vulva after parturition. Data were collected through anamnesis, physical examination, hematological analysis, and radiographic examination. The findings revealed uterine prolapse accompanied by tissue edema, leukocytosis indicating an inflammatory response, and mild anemia. Veterinary paramedics contributed to the successful management of the case by performing physical examinations, preparing the patient and surgical equipment, establishing intravenous access, administering treatments under the veterinarian's supervision, assisting during surgery, monitoring physiological parameters throughout anesthesia and surgery, and providing postoperative care. Prompt and appropriate management contributed to successful treatment and patient recovery.
