VENTRAL MEDIAN AND LATERAL FLANK APPROACH FOR OVARIOHYSTERECTOMY IN CAT

This study was conducted to compare Ventral Median Approach (OHM) and Lateral Flank (OHF) for feline ovariohysterectomy (OH). Fifteen healthy local female cats (Felis catus) with body weights ranged 2-4 kg aged 1-2 years were divided into two groups, OHM (n= 8) OHF 7).
