CLINICAL REPORTin bitches most often consist of broad ligament anduterine horns (Formston, 1990).In the present case, the history and the clinicalsigns were similar to the reportes of Jahromi et al.(2009). Byers et al. (2007) had reported a case ofinguinal hernia in a dog with signs of oestrusapproximately three to four weeks beforepresentation and substantial increase in size ofinguinal swelling two to three weeks prior topresentation. The condition has to be differentiallydiagnosed from mammary tumours, cysts, lipomas,enlarged lymph nodes, abscesses and hematomas.The chances of traumatic inguinal hernia were alsoruled out as the dog was in normal body conditionand had no history of trauma. Though a diagnosis ofbilateral inguinal herniation could be diagnosedbefore surgery, the hernial contents could beconfirmed only through surgical correction. Insteadof a midline approach for bilateral inguinal herniarepair in bitches, the conventional approach wasselected as it could facilitate better visualisation ofboth inguinal rings (Waters et al., 1993). Thecontents of the left and right hernial sacs were almostthe same as in the report of Jahromi et al. (2009).Ovariohysterectomy was also recommendedconsidering (Fossum, 2007) the probable heritablenature of this disease (Roberts, 1986). The mostcommon post-operative complications observed indogs undergone surgical repair of inguinal herniaincluded hematoma or seroma formation, incisionalinfection, wound dehiscence, hernia recurrence,peritonitis, sepsis and death (Pratschke, 2002).However, the follow up study did not reveal anypotential post-operative complications and theanimal had an uneventful recovery.utrine horn and omentum in a beagle dog.
