Abstract
A one-year old full-term female non—descript doe With abdominal straining for several hours
past night was brought to Large Animal Obstetrics Unit of Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hos-
pital for obstetrical evaluation. On physical examination, vital parameters were in normal range. Fetal
forelimbs were protruding through vulval lips. Vaginal examination revealed congested vaginal mucous
membrane With fully relaxed cervix and obstruction of fetal head in pelvic inlet. X-Ray confirmed the
presence of single fetus in anterior presentation, dorso sacral position and extended forelimbs with
obstruction of head in the pelvic inlet and the fetus Was viable on ultrasonography. Further, it Was di-
agnosed as dystocia due to fetopelvic disproportion. Hence, the animal was immediately subjected for
caesarean section using inverted L-Block with 2% Lignocaine. Left lower flank oblique approach of
hysterotomy Was performed and a live male kid was relieved. Incision sites were closed as per standard
procedure using PGA 1 and skin was also sutured with Nylon. The postoperative antibiotics (Inj. Cei-
trioxane @ 25 mg/Kg BW IV) and fluids (Inj. DN S @ 10 ml/Kg BW IV) were administered along with
Inj.Chlorpheneramine maleate (1 mg/Kg BW IM) for five days. Inj.Oxytocin (10 I .U. IM) administered
for two days which supported early uterine involution. The doe had uneventful recovery without complication.
