Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old female poodle was brought to the vet with a noticeable lump in her groin that had been there for two years. The vet suspected she had a condition called hydrometra (fluid in the uterus) along with an inguinal hernia (a type of hernia in the groin area). To treat her, the vet performed surgery to remove her uterus and repair the hernia. After the surgery, the vet found that the uterus had significant swelling and bleeding.

Abstract
A 5-year-old, sexually intact poodle bitch was presented with a 2-year history of inguinal mass. A tentative diagnosis of hydrometra/mucometra with inguinal herniation was made and ovariohysterectomy with hernia repair was performed. Both fluid-filled uterine horns, both broad ligaments, and the uterine body were observed to be herniated through the inguinal ring. On histopathology, marked edema and diffuse hemorrhage were diagnosed in the uterus.
