Abstract:
A three-and-a-half year old intact Labrador retriever bitch weighing 32.5kg was presented with the history of recurrent protrusion of mass through vulva during the oestrus cycle and gradually regresses after that cycle. The bitch was not matted and the cycle was regular but presently the protruded mass was not regressed fully after the cycle. Physical examination of the vulval protrusion confirmed type III Vaginal Fold Prolapse (VFP). Manually the prolapsed mass was not reducible and resection of the vaginal fold prolapse was performed, two months later ovariohysterectomy was performed. The present paper reports the successful management of recurrent vaginal fold prolapse in a bitch.
