ArticleItem Open Access Dystocia Due to Schistosomus Reflexus in a Jersey Crossbred Heifer Delivered by Caesarean Section(2021) Periyannan, Mani; Selvaraju, Mani; Gopikrishnan, Duraisamy, et al.,; TANUVASSchistosomus reflexus is a fatal congenital disability and has some peculiar anatomical features such as spinal inversion, exposure of abdominal viscera through the ventral abdominal fissure, limb ankylosis, abnormal positioning of limbs adjacent to the skull, and hypoplasia of thoracic organs and diaphragm (Windsor, 2019). It is a common fetal congenital disorder in ruminants (Selvaraju et al., 2010), but occurrences were rare in heifers (Varudharajan et al., 2019). The present report explains the successful management of dystocia due to Schistosomus reflexus in a Jersey crossbred heifer by Caesarean section.ArticleItem Open Access Modified vulval truss technique to prevent recurrence of cervico-vaginal prolapse in water buffaloes(2023) Selvaraju, Mani; Prakash, Subramanian; Varudharajan, Venkatraman, et al.,; TANUVASA retrospective study was conducted in a total of 89 water buffaloes reported with cervico-vaginal prolapse (CVP) in various degrees and were initially examined for their physiological and haematological parameters. The affected buffaloes were classified into 3 groups based on the degree of CVP and were treated with 8 ‘R’ principles and as a recurrence prevention strategy, they were managed with modified conventional vulval truss method, vulval retention suture method and both in all the three groups. The buffaloes handled with modified conventional vulval truss method showed reduced straining, genital injury and no obstetrical complications. The buffaloes treated with vulval retention suture showed mild straining, wound around the sutured site and those buffaloes treated with both modified conventional vulval truss method and vulval retention suture showed relatively effective results. Based on this study, it is concluded that the buffaloes affected with any degree of CVP and treated with modified conventional vulval truss method showed effective recurrence prevention with relatively no swelling, straining, haemorrhage, injury, maggot wound and postpartum obstetrical complications.ArticleItem Open Access Ovarian Papillary Cystadenoma with Pyometra Cystic Endometrial Hyperplasia Complex in a Bitch(2021-10) Gopikrishnan, Duraisamy; Selvaraju, Mani; Periyannan, Mani, et al.,; TANUVASCanine pyometra is a diestrual disorder and a more common condition in older bitches (>7 years) that is often life-threatening. Cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) is a subclinical condition characterized by the proliferation of endometrial glands resulting in the formation of fluid-filled cysts with luminal uterine contents (Schlafer and Gifford, 2008), and this allows bacterial proliferation in the uterus at diestrus under the influence of progesterone which results in the formation of pyometra (Verstegen et al., 2008). The concurrent occurrence of Pyometra-CEH complex with an ovarian tumor is rare and often taken as a severe threat to act immediately. In the present case, the concurrent occurrence of ovarian papillary cystadenoma with pyometra-CEH in a bitch is reported and discussed.
