CASE REPORT: A 1-year-old, neutered, female Domestic Shorthair cat was referred with a history of a skin defect of the dorsal pelvic and perineal region associated with a thermal burn. Clinical examination revealed a large skin defect, partially covered by necrotic and pale granulation tissue. The wound was debrided and lavaged under general anaesthesia and treated with medical honey and non-adhesive dressings for 7 days, until the appearance of healthy granulation tissue. On day 7, the defect was reconstructed using a caudal lateral arteries axial pattern skin flap following tail amputation. At 5 days after surgery a small area of necrosis at the periphery of the flap was resected and closed. No further complications occurred. CONCLUSION: At 9 months after reconstruction the cat was reported to be in good health.
