Management of urinary bladder eversion and perineal laceration in a mare: A case report
Abstract: A 9 year old Arabian mare was referred to Al Qattara Veterinary Hospital Al Ain, United Arab Emirates with a complaint of hanging of an unusual large mass from the vulva. This mare had unassisted foaling 17 days earlier and a first degree perineal laceration that occurred at foaling was repaired surgically. The mare showed several bouts of colic during the past 10 days and urine was dribbling from the everted mass. The case was diagnosed as eversion of urinary bladder with first degree perineal laceration. The everted mass was replaced back under mild sedation with xylazine and epidural anesthesia. The 1st degree laceration was repaired surgically. The mare had an uneventful recovery.
