Abstract:
A full-term pregnant doe presented with the history of bilateral abdominal distention. The case was diagnosed as hydrallantois based on the history, clinical signs and ultrasonographic examination. The doe was treated with Inj. Cloprostenol (125 mg, I/M) and Inj. Dexamethasone (10 mg, I/M) to induce kidding. The time taken to drain allantoic fluid, the amount of fluid drained and the time taken for complete cervical dilation were recorded. The histopathology of fetal kidney revealed hydronephrosis. Intravenous fluids, antibiotics, and antihistamines were administered to the animal for 5 days and the animal recovered uneventfully.
