摘要

A three month old male kid (Capra hircus) was presented to the clinic with an extensive soft diffuse swelling on the right ventro-lateral thorax due to an automobile accident. By clinical, radiographic and ultrasonographic examination, diaphragmatic herniation of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity was diagnosed. Herniorrhaphy was performed and intra-operatively, ribs 9-11 were found fractured below the costochondral junction. Postoperative medication and monitoring led to an uneventful recovery. To the best knowledge of the authors this is the first report of a successful diaphragmatic herniorrhaphy in a goat kid or any small ruminant.
