However the animal lambed 2 days after presentation but uterine prolapse occurred. The Helminthosis was treated using Albendazole suspension; while the prolapsed organs corrected in each case. Straining must have caused the vaginal prolapse while the violent contraction uterus coupled with the fact that the animal is a primiparal and the parturition that interrupted tile initial management of the vaginal prolapse may be responsible for the uterine prolapse.
