A 3-year-old female Malabari goat experienced a complete uterine prolapse immediately after giving birth to twins. The prolapsed uterus and bladder were replaced surgically using epidural anesthesia and Buhner's suture technique. Post-operatively, the goat was given medications including meloxicam, cefotaxime, calcium gluconate, oxytocin, and an intrauterine preparation. The surgery was successful in fully replacing the uterus. Common sequelae of uterine prolapse include necrosis, laceration, infection, shock, and thromboembolism.
