The presence of vaginal and uterine prolapse in the herd makes this an important obstetric pathology in veterinary medicine. They are generally associated with the final period of pregnancy or postpartum. They can be caused by several factors, such as: hereditary predisposition factors, climate and extreme environmental conditions large fetuses in relation to the mother´s body, obese and elderly females, multiparous females, relaxation of the fixation system, exaggerated effort prior to birth, among others, making it difficult to establish a definitive cause. Therefore, the objetctive was to carry out a retrospective study of cases of vaginal and uterine prolapse were anayzed and identified, 20 vaginal and seven uterine, most of which were associated with the period before childbirth (75%) and the smaller part were associated with postpartum (25%). Regarding the influence of climate, of the 27 cases of vaginal and uterine prolapse, 18 (66,6%) occurred during the dry season and 9 occurred during the rainy season. Regarding breed, 20 SRD animals and seven with a defined breed were treated. The treatment of these cases was efficient, since of the 27 animals treated, only 2 died. Therefore, it is important to alert owners about the need to remove stray animals from the breeding área, avoiding recurrence.
