Abstract: The exaggerated response of the vaginal mucosa to high levels of estrogen during proestrum and estrum phase of the estrous cycle that cause protrusion of the vaginal tissue through the vulvar lips is called Vaginal hyperplasia. A 6-year-old pug was presented with type III vaginal hyperplasia. After a failed attempt with conservative therapy including manual repositioning and managemental practices hoping for a spontaneous reduction of mass after the estrus phase, surgical correction was opted. Under general anaesthesia, surgical excision of prolapsed vaginal mass was performed. Post-operative care included daily care of surgical wound, antibiotics and haematinic syrups. Subsequently, no recurrence of the condition was observed and the dog recovered uneventfully.
