Abstract:
A full term non-descript pluriparous doe aged three and half years was presented to Referral veterinary polyclinic (Veterinary Gynaecology and Obstetrics section) of the Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar with the history of ventral abdominal enlargement for the past one month. Animal was healthy and no abnormal genital discharge was seen. Previous history of trauma or accident was unclear as per owner. Ultrasonographic examination revealed more than one live fetuses. Caesarean section was conducted which revealed two fully developed intra-uterine live fetuses and one ill developed abdominal (extra uterine) dead fetus adhered to omentum. Fetus, abdominal in location was sterile and no sign of peritonitis was seen in goat. Uterine rupture was found to be chronic as site of rupture was scarred or fibrosed. As per the owner, one of those two live fetuses died later after 1-2 days and abdominal swelling took one month to regain its original shape and size.
