Abstract

In this case report, it was aimed to share a case of diaphragmatic hernia and its treatment in a 5-month-old female stray dog. In the clinical examination of the patient, dyspnea and ecchymosis in the mucous membranes were detected, while the diaphragm border was not clearly seen in the radiographic examination. The dog was diagnosed with diaphragmatic hernia. It was determined that the dog who underwent Herniorrhaphy operation recovered rapidly in the postoperative period.
