Abstract: The majority of ruminants suffering from perineal hernia are female. The entrapment of the bladder may cause the animal to develop stranguria and tenesmus. Perineal hernia is sufficient to diagnose by physical examination in ruminants. Upon palpation, the hernial swelling seems to be a soft, reducible, and painless unilateral swelling on the vulval lip. Using epidural anesthesia, the perineal herniorrhaphy can be easily performed in standing animals. No or minor complication reported following surgery.
