Abstract
Foetal anasarca is a condition characterised by massive generalised subcutaneous edema with or without fluid accumulation in body cavities. This report presents a case of dystocia caused by the lodgement of an anasarca foetus in the birth canal, and treated by Caesarean Section in a Lhasa apso bitch. The bitch delivered one foetus transvaginally unassisted, while the anasarca foetus and one healthy puppy were delivered surgically. Foetal anasarca is considered a rare occurrence in this breed of dog and this case report validates the need for updated data on the incidence of canine foetal anomalies.
