Although there is no literature regarding the treatment of post-spaying USMI in cats, deslorelin acetate is successful in the treatment of post-spaying USMI in dogs. Deslorelin acetate implants have been shown previously to be effective for contraception and oestrus suppression in queens, and suppression of reproductive function in tomcats. Therefore, deslorelin acetate implant treatment was chosen for treatment of post-spaying USMI in this queen. Follow-up examinations were performed on days 8, 15 and 30 after deslorelin implant insertion. Urinary continence was restored about 25 days after implantation and maintained for at least 15 months, without treatment-related negative effects. In the present case report, the post-spaying urinary incontinence related to the acquired USMI was successfully treated with a deslorelin acetate implant. In addition, safe implantation was easy in cats and the single injection resulted in long-lasting efficacy. Further studies are needed to confirm the usefulness of deslorelin acetate treatment for post-spaying USMI in queens and to better delineate the duration of efficacy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x13498250","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,19]],"date-time":"2013-07-19T23:05:50Z","timestamp":1374275150000},"page":"366-368","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Effectiveness of deslorelin acetate subcutaneous implantation in a domestic queen with after-spaying urinary incontinence"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Maria Carmela","family":"Pisu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"VRC \u2013 Vet Referral Centre, Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Cristina","family":"Veronesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Sciences for Health, Animal Science and Food Safety, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Milan, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.theriogenology.2012.03.030"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.theriogenology.2010.10.020"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","first-page":"57","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 14th EVSSAR congress","author":"Romagnoli S","unstructured":"Romagnoli S, Pisu MC, Geretto N, et al.
