Abstract: The case presented here reports the presence of complete uterine prolapse after abortion in caprine species. 4-month pregnant goat (2.5 years of age) aborted and expelled twin immature fetuses and after three hours of which it has shown a prolapsed mass coming out from the vagina along with some of the adhered fetal membranes. The case was presented at TVCC, Pantnagar, and the animal was found to be dull and depressed with reduced feed and water intake. Firstly, the animal was stabilized followed by cleaning the prolapsed mass with potassium permanganate solution. The reduction of mass was made by using ice-packs after which repositioning inside the uterus was done successfully. Although any kind of straining was not observed, still to avoid reoccurrence oxytocin administration was done. Further follow-up therapy was prescribed using antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, antihistaminic and vitamin supplements for three days.
