Dystocia due to Unilateral Uterine Torsion with Concurrent Uterine Rupture in a Rottweiler Bitch

A 3-year-old pregnant Rottweiler bitch was presented with a primary complaint of bloody genital discharge and loss of appetite past two days. History revealed bitch was presented 63 days post-mating, expected to whelp within the next 48 hours and treated with oxytocin. Physical examination revealed a partially dilated cervix with the notable palpation of the foetal head. A caesarean section was performed to resolve the case. The bitch was recovered uneventfully.
