Abstract
A six-year-old Holstein Friesian crossbred cow was brought to the Large
Animal Gynaecology ward, Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital for
Artificial Insemination with the history of cloudy vaginal discharge. On rectal
examination, the uterus was distended with fluid, On real-time
ultrasonography, the ovaries were diagnosed with multiple large anechoic
follicles in the right ovary and two large follicles in the left ovary. The uterine
fluid was aspirated and found to be watery and cloudy. The cow was diagnosed
with mucometra due to follicular cyst and treated with 20μg GnRH
intramuscularly. Re-examination after 10 days showed the presence of corpus
luteum (CL) on the left ovary and persistence of the cysts on the right ovary.
GnRH treatment was repeated along with cloprostenol sodium (500μg I/M)
for lysis of the corpus luteum. The condition persisted post treatment as the
uterus was non responsive due to the severity and long-established condition.
The treatment was unsuccessful mainly due to the thickening and
unresponsiveness of the endometrium with longstanding persistence of
follicular cyst and the prognosis was guarded.
