Clinical examination revealed intestines were hanging from umbilicus. The exposed intestinal mass was congested grossly and contaminated with dirt and bedding material. The diameter of umbilical opening varied from 1.5-3.0 cm. The condition was diagnosed as congenital intestinal evisceration and surgically correction was undertaken along with antibiotics and analgesics. All animals had an uneventful recovery.
