Abstract:
A three years old pluriparous Labrador bitch presented to the Department of Veterinary Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Hebbal, Bengaluru clinics with history of greenish vaginal discharge and whelped two stillborn fetuses 24 hours later. Trans-abdominal ultrasonography and abdominal radiography was utilized to diagnose viability and number of fetus present in-utero, respectively. The case was confirmed as dystocia due to secondary uterine inertia because of large size of fetus obstructed in the vaginal passage. Caesarean section performed to deliver the dropsical fetuses. In conclusion, relative oversize of the fetus creates feto-maternal pelvic disproportion and decreases the options for per-vaginal delivery because of large size of fetuses. C-section found to be the best choice to save the life of the dam.
