A four year old Labrador bitch was presented with a history full term gestation and non-progessive signs of labor with uterine discharge. Per vaginal examination showed dilated birth canal without any fetus. Plain radiography revealed presence of bony structures in the uterus. Induction of labor with oxytocin and calcium was futile. Upon C-section, mummified (n=5), was removed along with normal fetus. The bitch recovered uneventfully following normal post-operative management.
