Description A male uncastrated German shepherd dog was presented with a bulging near anal region and difficulty while urinating. Upon palpation it was diagnosed as perineal hernia. Upon incision of the area the herniated mass was identified as urinary bladder. The bladder was gently compressed to evacuate the urine for easy reduction. External anal sphincter and levatorani were sutured with simple interrupted suture pattern using 1-0 PGA sutures, ventrally the external anal sphincter and obturator muscles were opposed together. Subcutaneous tissue was closed using simple continuous suture pattern using 1-0 catgut sutures and skin was closed using nylon by simple interrupted suture pattern. Postoperative antibiotic therapy was done using ceftriaxone, analgesic meloxicam and oral administration of stool softening agent cremaffin. The suture line was dressed daily and cleaning the anal opening was performed after every defecation. Skin sutures were removed on the 14th postoperative day. Castration was performed inorder to prevent the recurrence of hernia and the animal showed uneventful recovery.
