Correction of a post-estrual vaginal prolapse in a sahiwal cow

Abstract

A four (4) years old Sahiwal cow was admitted to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex (TVCC), College of Veterinary Science, Assam Agricultural University, Khanapara with a history of hanging mass from the vulva. On clinical examination it was confirmed as vaginal prolapse. Blood sample was collected to study different blood biochemical and haematological parameters. There was a slightly lower value of Calcium and Phosphorus then the normal reference range. The prolapsed mass was corrected manually and antihistaminic, non- steroidal anti-inflammatory and Ceftiofur sodium antibiotic was injected intramuscularly as therapeutic management. Delivery of a healthy calf was reported after completion of full gestation period without any complications.
