Abstract:
A ten-year-old mixed breed bitch was presented for a tissue prolapse protruding from her vulva. Following detailed examination and stabilization, the ovaries and uterine horns were removed by laparotomy, whereas the prolapsed tissue identified as uterus including cervix was removed vaginally. Histology confirmed uterine prolapse, a rare condition in bitches usually found shortly after birth especially due to dystocia. In contrast, the present case was found in a nulliparous non-pregnant bitch. Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, including microbiological and histological findings, are described and discussed critically.
