A 6-years-female Spitz dog was presented with history of intermittent discharge from vagina since 15 days. Physical examination revealed an inguinal swelling without palpable hernial ring. Radiography and ultrasonography revealed fluid filled loops in the inguinal swelling. On exploratory surgery the case was diagnosed as inguinal hysterocele with pyometra. The uterine body and part of uterine horns were herniated while the remaining portions of uterine horns and ovaries were within the abdominal cavity. Laparotomy was performed and it was observed that the hernial ring was so small that the pus filled uterus could not be retracted back into the abdominal cavity. The ovarian ends were ligated and separated, and the uterus was pulled out through the inguinal canal. Thereafter ovariohysterectomy was completed and the hernial ring was repaired. The dog showed uneventful recovery.
