ABSTRACT
Nikahval
B, Mogheiseh A., True vaginal prolapse in a bitch; an
unusual case, Onl J Vet Res., 18(8): 646-650, 2014. While prolapse
of vaginal mucosa from the vulva as vaginal hyperplasia in the pro-estrus and
estrus phases is frequently encountered, complete vaginal prolapse is a rare
condition. This case report describes an 8-year-old large breed bitch referred
with complete vaginal prolapse. The prolapse was recurrent during previous
months but became persistent in the last few days. The case was first managed
medically, but after recurrence ovariohysterectomy and vaginopexy
were performed. Mild pyometra was found in the uterus
and incision of the removed uterus revealed dried pine leaves as foreign
bodies. The primary cause remained unclear (vaginal prolapse or pyometra).
