Abstract

Incomplete cervical dilatation is the third most common cause of dystocia in buffaloes and typically a disorder of ruminant cervix, more common in pluriparous animals. A buffalo of five years old, with first
parity and approximately 550 kg body weight was presented at Veterinary Clinical Complex Kumarganj, Ayodhya with the history of straining since last two days, anorexia and foul smelling vaginal discharge. The case was unsuccessfully treated by a quack. During anamnesis, owner stated that animal has completed full term. Clinical examination revealed depressed animal with continuous straining. On pervaginam examination, cervix was found incompletely dilated. On trans-rectal palpation, sluggish fetal reflex was observed. Thus, the case was diagnosed as incomplete dilatation of the cervix. The animal was treated with cloprostinol sodium, valethamate bromide, estradiol valerate, betamethasone and fluid therapy. To alleviate pain and prevent secondary bacterial infection a course of antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antihistamine was also administered for five days. Owner was also advised to drench liquid uterotone 100 ml twice a day for one week. The case was recovered uneventfully. Thus, it can be concluded that a case of incomplete cervical dilation in bovines can be managed with aforesaid therapy.
