Plain-English summary
A 6-year-old male springer spaniel was brought in after suffering a severe bite injury that caused most of his intestines to protrude through his rear end. The dog had an untreated perineal hernia, which made the situation worse. Emergency surgery was performed using both abdominal and perineal techniques to repair the damage. Thankfully, the surgery was successful, and the dog was able to recover after treatment.

This is the first report describing successful treatment of perineal evisceration secondary to dog attack at an untreated perineal hernia, employing abdominal and perineal approaches.
