Perivulvar dermatitis is common in obese, older female dogs that have infantile vulvae. Removing the excessive perivulvar skin folds by episioplasty has been recommended as the treatment of choice for perivulvar dermatitis in bitches. This report describes a case of perivulvar dermatitis in a cat that was treated by episioplasty. Ten days after surgery a substantial improvement was noticed, and 67 days later the skin in the perineal/perivulvar area appeared to be normal. The cat had not been given any medication. As in bitches, episioplasty in cats can be successful in reducing perivulvar dermatitis.
