Abstract
This case report documents the surgical treatment of a 6-year-old feline patient with hypersomatotropism. The surgical intervention, a hypophysectomy, is a relatively novel treatment option for this condition and the post-operative nursing care is imperative to ensure a positive outcome. The patient underwent this surgery and spent 2 days in the intensive care unit of a referral hospital for close monitoring of his blood glucose and electrolytes.
