“…In one study, a low parturition rate was reported with a single dose of PGF 2α , even though relaxation of the birth canal was satisfactory, suggesting a uterine contractility defect. 32 In another study, in situations where PGF 2α did not lead to the expulsion of the mummified fetus, a different medical approach was used: mummified fetuses (six of six) were expelled after combination treatment with PGF 2α (600 mg D-cloprostenol intramuscularly [IM; Estrumate ® ]; Merck, Bern, Switzerland) and PGE 2 (2.5 dinoprostone intravenously [Endocur ® ]; Bern, Switzerland) for a period of 3–6 days. 33 In addition to their luteolytic properties, 34 PGF 2α and PGE 2 have a direct effect on myometrial contractility.…”

Fetal mummification in the major domestic species: current perspectives on causes and management

Fetal mummification is an uncommon condition in most domestic species. While most often seen in multiparous and polytocous species like swine, it is also observed in monotocous species when the fetus is retained for a long time. The low prevalence of the condition may help explain the scarcity of information in the literature. To further complicate the study of this phenomenon, the physiological mechanisms that maintain pregnancy vary between species, implying different pathways for the condition. The exact outcome of early fetal mortality is unpredictable, and is influenced by several factors, including the cause of fetal mortality, differences in pregnancy between species, stage of gestation at fetal death, and number of fetuses. Based on our current knowledge of natural fetal mummification events, there are a number of prerequisites for the process of fetal mummification to occur. Examining the circumstances associated with fetal mummification can help scientists better understand the etiology and clinical situation in different species. The objective of this article is to review fetal mummification in the major domestic species: cattle, goats, sheep, horses, swine, dogs, and cats. This paper discusses the clinical situation, the most common and important etiologies, and the treatment approaches for restoring future pregnancy in the female, and where applicable, herd fertility.

“…In pathological cases, such as prolonged gestation, or when the cow bears a mummified foetus, the A-PGF seems an adequate tool for termination of pregnancy; in case of macerated foetus, their efficiency is not evident (Van de Plassche et al, 1974). .…”

“…Uterine torsions are considered to account for 5 to 10% of serious cases of equine dystoCia at referral institutions. 1 Greater than 50% occur before the end of gestation, 1 with a mean gestational age of9.6 months (range, 8 months to term) 2 Clinical signs associated with uterine torsion are generally attributable to mild to moderate, unresponsive abdominal pain 2 Once a diagnosis of uterine torsion is established, immediate intervention and correction is recommended to optimize the chances of fetal and maternal survivap•4…”

“…Prognosis for cases of equine uterine torsion is considered to be worse than for bovine cases because of more severe circulatory disturbances resulting from involvement of the broad ligaments and uterine vessels and the diffuse nature of the equine placental attachment. 1 Uterine rupture is the major cause of maternal death in cases of equine uterine torsion. 1 Uterine rupture may be seen after manipulation during dystocia or fetotomy procedures, uterine torsion, uterine lavage, or during apparently normal parturition.…”

A ls-year-old SOO-kg Standardbred mare was admitted with a tentative diagnosis of dystocia. The mare was in the late stages of pregnancy although the exact breeding date was unknown at the time of admission, and the mare had been showing signs of abdominal discomfort for at least 6 hours prior to admission. At the time of admission, the mare appeared depressed and was intermittently kicking at her abdomen. Physical examination revealed normal temperature (37.S C) and
