Abstract
AbstractEctopic pregnancy, where implantation occurs outside the uterus, is less common in animals compared to humans. The precise causes of this condition are not thoroughly understood in either species. A 3‐year‐old Indian pariah bitch was brought in due to overall lethargy, loss of appetite and abdominal discomfort persisting for the past 2 days, following a full term of pregnancy. Upon vaginal examination, the cervical canal was found to be fully dilated; however, no fetal parts were palpable. Following stabilisation of the bitch, radiographic and ultrasonographic examinations were conducted to assess fetal number and viability. Diagnostic procedures and clinical examinations did not indicate the possibility of delivering the fetus through the normal birth canal. The fetuses were surgically retrieved via a caesarean section, revealing the unexpected occurrence of ectopic pregnancy specifically in the abdomen. After the surgical removal of the fetus located outside the uterus, the bitch experienced a full recovery.
