Pre-partum Cervico-Vaginal Prolapse in a Crossbred Cow and Its Therapeutic Management-A Case Report

Abstract

A 4 years old crossbred cow was reported to have cervico-vaginal protrusion in Pyllum Village, Ri-Bhoi District of Meghalaya, India. The cow was restrained in standing position and epidural anaesthesia (2% Lignocaine hydrochloride @0.2 mg/kg body weight) was administered. The prolapsed organ was made aseptic by washing with 2% potassium permanganate solution followed by washing with warm normal saline. A course of parenteral antibiotic (Ceftriaxone sodium @5mg/kg) along with anti-inflammatory drug (Meloxicam @1ml/kg body weight) was given for 5days. To maintain the full term pregnancy progesterone (hydroxyprogesterone @3ml/animal) was injected intramuscularly. The cow recovered successfully and delivered a healthy calf after complete term of gestation.
