dc.description.abstractA three years old Jersey crossbred heifer was brought to Veterinary Clinical Complex, VCRI, Orathanadu with the history of not showing signs of parturition even after completing full term gestation period. The animal was inseminated 10 months back and confirmed as pregnant 3 months later. On clinical examination, all the vital parameters were normal. The vaginal examination revealed closed cervix with intact cervical seal. During rectal examination, the cervix was located at pelvic brim; the uterus was descended into abdominal cavity. The uterine wall was thick and tightly contracting around the fetus. Hard and firm mass of fetus was palpated inside the uterus. Rectal examination also revealed absence of fetal fluid, placentomes and fremitus. On ultrasound examination, the absence of fetal fluid and placentomes were confirmed. Thus, the case was diagnosed as fetal mummification. The animal was treated with 500 μg of Cloprostenol sodium (PGF2α) intramuscularly. After 3 days of PGF2α injection, the cervix was fully dilated and hard mass of fetus with empty orbit was present inside the uterus. After lubrication of birth canal with carboxy methyl cellulose, mummified fetus was removed by manual traction. The fetus was reddish brown in colour and eye balls were empty. After removal of the fetus, the animal was treated with Inj. Enrofloxacin (1500 mg, I/M), Inj. Meloxicam (100 mg, I/M), Inj. Chlorpheneramine maleate (100 mg, I/M), and Inj. Oxytocin (40 IU, I/M). The treatment with antibiotic and supportive therapy was continued for 3 days. The animal had an uneventful recovery and resumed estrous cycle after 45 days.en_US
