Abstract

A female dog crossed 61 days back with a history of brownish black vaginal discharge was confirmed of foetal
maceration based on radiographic and sonographic findings. Therapeutic management with a combination of
mifepristone and misoprostol failed to expel the foetus and a hysterotomy was performed to remove it. The dog had
a successful conception in the subsequent estrus.
