A 4 year old Labrador female dog was presented with the history of completing 62 days of her gestation. Obstetrical examination revealed that the cervix was dilated with the outermost fetus in anterior presentation. Celiotomy was performed through a caudal mid-ventral incision, one dead fetus was present in the peritoneal cavity through the tear at the junction of the right uterine horn and the body and five more dead featuses were found in the uterus. After removing all the fetuses, ovariohysterectomy was performed. The female dog recovered uneventfully.
