Mastitis is a rare condition that can be diagnosed in female cats of all breeds and ages. It is usually caused by bacterial agents and is frequently encountered secondarily in feline mammary fibroepithelial hyperplasia (FEH). If left untreated, it can peril both the queen and her kittens. Therefore, a reliable and quick diagnosis is the primary key to successful treatment. Conventional diagnosis consists of a clinical and ultrasound evaluation of the queen's mammary glands. However, there is a lack of literature specifically focused on mastitis in queens. Consequently, the present review brings forth the existing knowledge regarding mammary gland inflammations in cats, with the goal of improving current clinical evaluation and treatment plans.
乳腺炎是一种罕见的疾病，可发生于所有品种和年龄段的雌性猫。它通常由细菌引起，在猫的乳腺纤维上皮增生（FEH）中经常继发出现。如果不治疗，它可能会危及母猫和她的小猫。因此，可靠和快速的诊断是成功治疗的首要关键。常规诊断包括对母猫的乳腺进行临床和超声评估。然而，关于母猫乳腺炎的文献很少。因此，本综述介绍了目前关于猫乳腺炎症的相关知识，旨在改善当前的临床评估和治疗计划。
