Abstract :
A primiparous, 4-year-old, small sized terrier bitch, which had normally whelped one litter, was monitored for up to 2 months after parturition. Ultrasonography of the uterus was carried out to measure the diameter at placental site on the day of whelping (D0) and at each of the following days (D) after whelping: D1, D7, D21, D28, D35, D42, D49, D56 and D63. In conclusion, it is suggested that postpartum uterine involution may be easily interpreted by ultrasonography in bitches and imaging of uterine involution may be detected approximately till the 7th week of the postpartum period.
