Kirov veterinarians saved a pregnant rat from death.

      The owners consulted veterinary internist, surgeon and rodent specialist Anastasia Tsyplenkova with complaints that their pet was having difficulty giving birth. Ultrasound showed the animal had developed dystocia — an inability of the fetuses to pass through the birth canal. The cause was that the offspring had died before birth. The condition required immediate intervention, and the veterinarians performed an emergency cesarean section and hysterectomy. The operation was successful, and the rodent is now recovering. The owners were given detailed care instructions. The clinic notes that such cases in small animals are uncommon but require a high level of skill and promptness from the veterinarian. "This story is a vivid example of how timely consultation with a qualified rodent specialist and skilled surgical care can save the lives of even very small and fragile patients," the specialists said.
