Abstract
A post-partum total uterine prolapse in a 3 years old non-descript goat was presented. This paper reports a clinical management of the case. The everted uterus was carefully assessed and gross debris gently removed and disinfected with dilute chlorhexidine solution. Epidural anaesthesia was achieved using 1.5 ml of 2% lignocaine solution administered at the intercoccygeal joint. The prolapsed uterus was replaced and no suture was placed on the vulva. Oxytocin, calcium borogluconate, broad-spectrum antibiotics (ceftriaxone) and DNS solution were administered. The animal was completely recovered.
