“…This may be due to that the females are weaker and subjected to biting by excited males, in addition to caesareans section as salvage of dystocia. This finding was in accordance with Purohit et al [26] and Masakazu [21]. In contrary, Herrmann et al [14], Salim et al [29] and Hassen et al [13] reported that, gender has no effect on the incidence of hernia in domestic animals as it was a mechanical injury in origin.…”

“…The high incidence of abdominal hernia could be attributed to the weakness of the abdominal muscles following the extensive left caudal flank incision for caesarean section and rumenotomy in the camel by general practitioner veterinarian [26, 28]. Regarding the rapid healing of lateral hernia in comparison to ventrolateral and ventral hernias, this could be a result of the possibility of breakdown of the body wall closure, increased likelihood of evisceration and the higher chance of ventral site contact with foreign body objects in ventral laparotomy compared to lateral site [15, 22].…”

“…Abdominal hernia is an abnormal protrusion of a part of abdominal contents through a natural or pathological opening in the abdominal wall [5]. Though, hernias can occur in different regions of the body, the most common site is the abdominal wall, especially in the ventral and inguinal regions [10, 26]. It is commonly located low or high in the flank, along the costal arch or between the last ribs [28, 30].…”

The present study was designed to describe the clinical presentation of abdominal hernias and to evaluate the efficacy of polypropylene mesh in repair of such affection in camels. Twenty-six dromedary camels were included in this study on the basis of clinical and ultrasonographic evidence of abdominal hernia. Factors associated with prevalence and clinical findings of hernia were presented and hernioplasty using polypropylene mesh was evaluated as a surgical intervention. Out of 26 studied camels, abdominal hernia was prevalent in Wadeh camels than other breeds (17 vs. 9, P <0.01). Camels <6 years of age exhibited more hernias than other age groups (18 vs. 8, P <0.01). Moreover, females showed a significantly higher prevalence (19 vs. 7, P <0.01) of abdominal hernia compared to males (26.9%, n=7). The sensitivity (96.8%) and specificity (93.1%) of ultrasonography (US) for diagnosing hernia were higher in comparison to clinical examination (88.3%). At 3 weeks postoperatively, the clinical index score of 26 operated camels was significantly reduced in comparison with pretreated (22 vs. 4, P <0.005). However, only 2 cases had recurrence of the hernia and 2 camels had slight swelling in situ. By the 6th month post treatment, all treated camels were completely recovered. In conclusion, the polypropylene mesh is a viable and consistent alternative effective treatment for abdominal hernias in camels. In addition, the clinical index scores and US provide a precise paradigm for diagnosis and preoperative planning for abdominal hernias in dromedary camels.

“…Different anesthetic combinations have been described in the past including chloral hydrate [31,57], premedication with chlorpromazine hydrochloride followed by a chloral hydrate and magnesium sulfate mixture [35], premedication with triflupromazene [32]. However, currently the use of xylazine as a sedative administered by intravenous route [58,59,67] along with local infiltration anesthesia is suggested. The dose of xylazine suggested for camels is 0.25 mg/Kg [58,60,61].…”

Dystocia in the camelids is rare, however the exceptionally long neck and the fetal extremities predispose to flexion of these as a common cause of dystocia. A prolonged (<2 hr) second stage of labor, bloody vaginal discharge or colic is the frequent sign of dystocia. The maternal causes of dystocia for camelids include uterine torsion, pelvic immaturity, uterine inertia and cervical dilation failure, whereas the fetal causes described are fetal malpostures and rarely fetal monsters like Schistosoma reflexus and Perosomus elumbis or fetal dropsical conditions such as hydrocephalus. Dromedary camels must be restrained in a sternal recumbency for examination and vicious animals must be given xylazine (0.25-2.2 mg/Kg IM or IV). South American camelids may be restrained by using either xylazine or butarphanol (0.5-0.1 mg/Kg IM). Uterine torsion is much more common in llamas and alpacas whereas it is infrequent in the dromedary camel. The methods of dystocia correction by using mutations, fetotomy and cesarean section are described.
