A two-year-old sheep was referred to the clinics of the Department of Internal Medicine of Dicle University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, with signs of anorexia, abdominal tympany and constipation. The clinical examination of the animal revealed the presence of respiratory failure associated with weaker lung sounds on the right side of the body when compared to the left side. There were no ruminal movements, and when the rumen was probed with a stomach tube, no ruminal content was obtained. The animal was euthanized upon the request of the owner, and a necropsy was performed. At necropsy, it was observed that the left hepatic lobe had protruded into the thoracic cavity through a defect in the diaphragm, and that a diaphragmatic hernia had developed., Dvogodišnja ovca upućena je u klinike Zavoda za internu medicinu Veterinarskoga fakulteta Sveučilišta Dicle sa znakovima anoreksije, timpanije trbuha i zatvora. Klinički pregled životinje pokazao je otežano disanje povezano sa slabijim zvukovima pluća na desnoj strani u usporedbi s lijevom stranom tijela. Nije bilo ruminacija, a probadanjem stijenke buraga pomoću cijevi nije dobiven nikakav sadržaj. Životinja je eutanazirana na zahtjev vlasnika te je obavljena razudba kojom je opaženo da se lijevi jetreni režanj prostro u prsnu šupljinu kroz defekt u dijafragmi, i da se razvila dijafragmatska kila.
