A 3-year-old female persian short-haired cat was presented at Teaching and Training Pet Hospital and Research Center (TTPHRC), Dhaka with a 24-hour history of unproductive labor and restlessness. Physical examination revealed abdominal distension and purulent vaginal discharge. Radiographic evaluation demonstrated a single retained fetus with gas opacity within the uterus, consistent with fetal emphysema, indicating fetal death and decomposition. A diagnosis of dystocia due to emphysematous fetus was established. An emergency cesarean section was performed under general anesthesia, and the decomposed fetus was removed. Because of the high risk of metritis and potential future reproductive complications, an ovariohysterectomy was performed during the same surgical session. Postoperative management included fluid therapy, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and analgesics. The queen recovered from anesthesia uneventfully and was discharged from hospital from recovery.
