Abstract:
A crossbred Holstein Friesian heifer with full term pregnancy was presented with the complaint of frequent sit ups, restlessness, abdominal contractions, inappetance, reluctance to move followed by protruded mass in the vagina. On observation, the heifer was dull and depressed with protruded mass in the vagina which was haemorrhagic with the palpable live fetus inside. Based on the history and clinical symptoms, the condition was diagnosed as cervico-vaginal prolapse due to dystocia. The caesarean section was performed under epidural and local anaesthesia with lignocaine. Supportive therapy was done with fluid therapy, antibiotics and analgesics. The prolapse was reduced back into original position and the condition was not reverted. Routine postoperative therapy provided had an uneventful recovery.
