Abstract:

Present case study was associated with successful management of a pregnant doe from dystocia by caesarean section. A 1.5 years old pregnant non-descriptive doe was admitted in the TVCC, C.V.A.Sc., Pantnagar, Uttarakhand with a history of complete gestation period and prolonged labor (more than 12 hours). There was protrusion of both fetal forelimbs from the vaginal opening. Gynaecological examination revealed that the fetus was in Nape presentation. The case was diagnosed as dystocia due to abnormal fetal disposition. The animal was subjected to caesarean operation. The operation was performed under light sedation with 0.1 ml of xylazine and regional inverted L- block was also done with 2% Lignocaine. An oblique incision was given at left flank and recovery of one dead male fetus occurred. Post-operative treatment was done with Inj. Amoxicillin-sulbactum @10 mg/kg intramuscularly, Inj. Tribivet® 5 ml intramuscularly, Inj. Chlorpheniramine maleate @0.5 mg/kg intramuscularly, Meloxicum@0.5 mg/kg intramuscularly and NS 250 ml for five days. Local antiseptic dressing and fly repellant spray was advised for every alternative day. The skin suture was removed on 10th day post-surgery.
