The case was treated with epidural anaesthesia, antihistaminics, antibiotics locally and parenterally, dextrose 5% solution, calcium borogluconate (10%) solution along with analgesic parentally. The everted part of uterus was replaced successfully and knot sutures were placed thereafter. The animal was kept standing for 24 hours in a slanting position with front side facing down.
