Abstract:
A Nellore Brown sheep in second parity was presented with a complaint of anorexia, dullness and a history of full term gestation. The owner complained that the animal not exhibited any signs of lambing. An abdominal palpation revealed presence of fetus. On pervaginal examination, cervix was dilated one finger. Per rectal examination revealed no palpable fetus and its parts. The lambing was induced to find no improvement even after 72 hours. Caesarean section was performed to remove a macerated fetus.
