Vulval Ligature Technique in a Case of Uterine Prolapse in Bitch

Abstract

This case report describes the treatment of uterine prolapse in a bitch with a vulval ligature technique after the rejection of the uterine. A two-year-old Golden Retriever bitch was brought in with the complaint of protruded uterine after dystocia. After the edema in the uterine was removed, it was lubricated with paraffin liquid and rejected inside. After this procedure, a vulval ligature procedure was applied to the upper third of the vulva. After the treatment, it was observed that the uterine prolapse did not recur and the patient recovered. It was learned that the bitch became pregnant in the next sexual period.
