| A buffalo in its' 3 rd parity was presented to Referral Veterinary Polyclinic with the history of complete gestation, inappetence for 6-7 days and symptoms of straining and discomfort about 10 days back. The animal was dull and depressed with congested mucous membrane and dry muzzle. Per-vaginal examination revealed only two fingers dilatation of cervix and twisting was felt at the level of 2 nd ring, later confirmed by per-rectal examination, which clearly indicated that there was pre-cervical uterine torsion involving cervix. As the anamnesis denoted a delayed case of torsion, uterine adhesions, poor vitality and fragility of uterus was suspected, which could have led to uterine tear if the animal was rolled. Therefore, cesarean section was performed immediately through left lower ventro-lateral oblique incision to relieve the dystocia and a macerated male fetus was delivered. The uterus was cyanotic, fragile and had multiple adhesions with omentum. These adhesions were removed, and the torsion was corrected to certain possible degree. The animal was kept on intensive fluid therapy, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, oral uterine tonic as well as intrauterine medications for better uterine health and animal recovered uneventfully.
A nondescript doe weighing around 35kg with the history of complete gestation period and dark brownish-red color vaginal discharge was presented in VGO polyclinic, IVRI, Bareilly. Per vaginal examination revealed, compact fetal mass lodged in the anterior vagina. The lubricated gloved hand passed per-vaginally, the fetal mass extracted out and the case was diagnosed as dystocia due to fetal mummification. The doe was given oral uterine cleanser and systemic antimicrobial therapy for three days and recovered uneventfully.
