Abstract

Incomplete cervical dilatation, usually a ruminant cervix ailment more common in pluriparous  animals, is the third most common cause of dystocia in buffaloes. Many factors, including  cervical induration, primary uterine and cervical inertia, secondary uterine inertia with cervical  involution, and in early stages of normal parturition, cause cervical dilatation to fail. At the  Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Parbhani,  a seven-year-old buffalo with third parity and about 450 kg of body weight was presented. The  buffalo had been straining for the previous three days and had anorexia and foul smelling vaginal  discharge. A paravet in the area tried treating the situation without success. The owner said  the animal had reached full term during anamnesis. Upon clinical evaluation, the animal was  found to be depressed and constantly straining. Upon pervaginal examination, an incompletely  dilated cervix was discovered. Fetal reaction was found to be sluggish upon trans-rectal  palpation. As a result, the diagnosis of incomplete cervical dilation was made.The animal was treated with dinoprostonegel, cloprostinolsodium, valethamatebromide, calciumborogluconate, dexamethasone and fluid therapy. After dilation of cervix and manual removal of foetus buffalo owner was advised to drench liq. Involon ds 200 ml on day of parturition followed by 100ml on subsequent three days. The case was recovered successfully. Thus, it can be concluded that a case of incomplete cervical dilation in bovines can be managed with said therapy.
