Uterine prolapse in a jenny: a case report

Uterine prolapse occurs when the previously gravid horn invaginate after delivery of the fetus and protrudes from the vulva. The case in a Jenny is unknown and not yet recorded, but the condition is frequently associated in ruminants with dystocia and hypocalcaemia (1, 2). Most cases occur within a few hours after delivery and the condition is more common in dairy cows than other species (3). Uterine prolapse is a rare condition that is difficult to manage in equines (2). This report describes the first case of uterine prolapse in a jenny and how to handle it.
