Fifteen pregnant bitches were observed by serial B-mode (real time) ultrasonography to describe the characteristics and diameter of the involuting uterus on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 21 post-cesarean. The average and standard deviation, in centimeters, presented on those days after cesarean section, were, respectively 3.99+0.71, 3.27+0.51, 2.60+0.54; 2.01+0.34 and 1.28+0.24. Under the conditions of this report it is concluded that cesarean section did not influence normal uterine involution.
