Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Veterinary Services Department (DVS) said it is taking seriously allegations made by an individual identified as thebareloons on Threads on Thursday regarding the death of a male cat following a neutering procedure at a government veterinary clinic.

The Department said a comprehensive internal investigation will be conducted immediately to determine the cause of the incident.

According to the Department, the investigation will include a review of documentation, standard operating procedures, related records and interviews with personnel involved in the process.

To assist the investigation, the department advised the owner to promptly submit the cat’s carcass to the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Kepayan for a post-mortem examination to establish the cause of death.

The Department said immediate submission is important as autolysis, or decomposition of the carcass, could affect the accuracy of the diagnosis.
