Original publication title: Uterine prolapse in a non-pregnant bitch.
Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old mixed breed female dog was brought in because tissue was protruding from her vulva, indicating a uterine prolapse. After a thorough examination, the veterinarian performed surgery to remove the ovaries and uterine horns, as well as the prolapsed tissue. This condition is rare in non-pregnant dogs, but the surgery was successful, and the dog was treated appropriately.

Abstract
A ten-year-old mixed breed bitch was presented for a tissue prolapse protruding from her vulva. Following detailed examination and stabilization, the ovaries and uterine horns were removed by laparotomy, whereas the prolapsed tissue identified as uterus including cervix was removed vaginally. Histology confirmed uterine prolapse, a rare condition in bitches usually found shortly after birth especially due to dystocia. In contrast, the present case was found in a nulliparous non-pregnant bitch. Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, including microbiological and histological findings, are described and discussed critically.
