Plain-English summary
A 12-year-old female Siamese cat was brought to the vet because she was vomiting and showing signs of abdominal pain. After examining her, the vet performed surgery to remove her ovaries and uterus, which revealed a condition called uterine adenomyosis (a type of abnormal growth in the uterus). This condition was likely related to her long-term treatment with megestrol acetate, a medication used to suppress heat cycles. Following the surgery, the cat's symptoms were addressed, and she was on her way to recovery.
