dc.description.abstractFeline obesity, a global concern, poses health risks and affects the well-being of cats. This case report explores an innovative treatment for feline obesity using intragastric botulinum toxin-A injections in a cat that did not respond favourably to conventional methods. A 3-year-old, tabby cat, weighing 8.480 kg, exhibited excessive appetite and lameness, with a body condition score of 9. Despite a year of conventional management and dietary supplements, no significant improvement was observed, and an alternative technique to conventional treatment was performed. Under anaesthesia and gastroscopic guidance, 24 units of botulinum toxin-A were injected subserosally into the antrum. Six months after intervention, the cat's weight reduced to 4.220 kg, with a body condition score of 5, indicating excellent health. The present approach may offer an alternative to traditional obesity management, but further research is required to assess its full potential.
