Resumo

An eight-month-old, female Cane Corso bitch was presented for treatment following complaint of protrusion of oedematous tissue through the vulva lips one week after the commencement of the oestrous cycle.Clinical examination revealed a pear-shaped fibrous vaginal mass measuring about 5 cm in diameter.Ultrasonography identified a single follicular cyst in the left ovary and vaginal smear cytology revealed 100% keratinised cells.The treatment involved repositioning of the vaginal prolapse with lacing of the vulva lips, hormonal therapy and surgical amputation of the protruding tissue.The dog had completely recovered after the treatment with no recurrence of prolapse.It had a physiological oestrus during the next cycle, was mated naturally and conceived a normal viable litter.
