Abstract

A postpartum total uterine prolapse in a 2-years old Korean black goat was presented. This paper reports the clinical management of the case. The everted uterus was carefully assessed and gross debris were gently removed and disinfected with dilute povidone iodine solution. The prolapsed uterus was replaced with epidural anesthesia and retention suture was placed on the vulva. Broad spectrum antibiotics, calcium gluconate, and supportive therapy were administered. The patient made complete recovery.
