A three-month-old German shepherd pup was brought with the complaint of gradually increasing swellingon the left lateral abdominal region for one month after a traumatic injury. History, physical and radiographic examinationrevealed herniation of the spleen. Surgical intervention was done to repair the defect and during herniorrhaphy, it wasfound that the spleen was herniated along with partial herniation of stomach which was of rare occurrence. Herniorrhaphywas performed after replacement of visceral organs into the abdominal cavity. The pup recovered uneventfully withoutany complications and revealed normal feeding habits and behavioural activity.
