Abstract
A huskydog puppy their age about one month suffering from a soft and swollen mass at the umbilical region was brought to the teaching hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Following a careful clinical examination, the disorder was diagnosed as an umbilical hernia. A decision was made to be treated by surgical intervention. The animal was anesthetized with a mixture of Xylazine 2%, and Ketamine hydrochloride 5%at 3\10 mg Kg Bwt, respectively which provides an optimum time to complete the operation without any adverse complications. The open surgical technique was followed to correct the hernia using Mayo mattress suture. Postoperatively, the animal was kept under an intensive care and monitoring until recovery. Two weeks later, the operation site demonstrated an excellent healing feature without any evidence of swelling. The animal looked alert, physically active with a good appetite. Two months later, a complete recovery was revealed with no recurrence of the hernia.
