Pre-pubic tendon rupture is an often affection in mares, rarer in ewes and cows because of an additional connection of the pre-pubic tendon found in these species. Etiology of this affection is not completed elucidated, but it is associated with many gestation affections. Treatment is usually unsatisfactory. This report aims to describe principle clinical and anatomopathologyc findings in an ewe at the fifth month of gestation with pre-pubic tendon rupture. Bad general clinical status led to euthanasia. Clinical and anatomopathological findings are consistent with pre-pubic tendon rupture. The report of this case works as an alert to the possibility of the occurrence of this affection in ewes and demonstrate a necessity to the parturition assistance of these animals.
