Abstract: The case study, "Surgical Management of Vaginal Hyperplasia in a Labrador Dog," presents a clinical approach to treating an eight-year-old female Labrador suffering from Grade III vaginal hyperplasia. This condition, marked by excessive estrogenic response in the vaginal mucosa, led to significant vaginal swelling, anorexia, and dysuria. A detailed examination, including ultrasound and cytology, confirmed the diagnosis. Under general anesthesia, surgical intervention involved an episiotomy and precise excision of the hyperplastic tissue, with careful protection of the urethral opening. Postoperative care included antibiotics, pain management, and antiseptic treatment, resulting in successful recovery within two weeks. This case underscores the importance of surgical management in severe cases of vaginal hyperplasia to ensure optimal outcomes and prevent recurrence in susceptible breeds.
