2023
M. Vigneswari
A Ten year old intact dachshund bitch weighing around 13kgs body weight was presented with the history of pendulous swelling on the caudal ventral abdomen for past six months. On palpation, swelling was soft, painless and reducible. On radiographic examination, herniated intestinal loop was noticed. Haematobiochemical values were within normal range except for mild neutrophilia. Based on the clinical examination and radiographic evaluation, it was diagnosed as inguinal hernia. Herniorrhaphy and ovariohysterectomy was performed under general anaesthesia. Postoperatively, antibiotics and analgesics were administered for 7 and 3 days, respectively. No postoperative complication was recorded and the animal recovered uneventfully.
