Abstract:
A Cross bred Jersey cow was presented to Obstetrics unit of Veterinary Clinical Complex, Orathanadu with the history of abortion at 7 months of pregnancy and it was aborted 9 days back; and the animal showing sero sanguinous vaginal discharge since 3 days. On clinical examination the animal was dull and depressed with rectal temperature of 39.8°c. On vaginal examination, two finger dilatation of cervix with foul smelling sero sanguineous discharge was noticed. From the observations the case was diagnosed as Septic metritis. Hence the animal was treated by parental administration of Inj. Normal saline (1000 ml), Inj. RL (1000 ml), Inj. Detrose 25% (1000 ml) Inj. Procaine penicillin (20,000 /kg), Chlorpheniramine maleate (0.5 mg/kg), Meloxicam (0.5 mg/kg), Inj. Tribivet (20 ml) and intrauterine administration of povidone iodine 20 ml solution diluted with normal saline 50ml and mixed with Metronidazole 120ml. Treatment was continued for five days and the animal had an uneventful recovery. After two months the animal was brought to Gynaecology unit of Veterinary Clinical Complex, Orathanadu with the history of animal showing signs of mucus discharge, bellowing sound and mounting behaviour. On external observation and rectal examination all signs are positive for estrum. Stage of estrum, uterus and follicular status were assessed by Ultrasonography. Because the animal was treated for Septic metritis previously, White side test was performed and revealed negative. Then the animal was inseminated on two consecutive days and GnRH (Gynarich-5ml) was administered on first day of insemination intramuscularly. Pregnancy was confirmed by ultrasound and rectal examination at 33days and 47 days respectively after insemination.
