OOPHORECTOMY IN CATS 109 



Draw the ovaries into the incision and remove, 

 returning tubes, etc. 



Suture the muscle and peritoneum with the 

 same interrupted, sterilized catgut sutures, wipe 

 dry with sterile absorbent cotton, and allow the 

 skin incision to return to its proper position, 

 which will cause the muscle incision to be entirely- 

 covered. 



Do not suture the skin incision, and the cat will 

 do no other harm to it than licking. If sutures 

 are put into the skin of a cat, she will remove 

 them one and all. 



Do not use any carbolic preparation for disin- 

 fecting instruments, or on the skin of a cat.
