Successful management of hydrallantois in a Macheri ewe

Abstract

A pluriparous Macheri ewe on its 4th month of gestation was brought with the history of sudden bilateral distension of abdomen, staggering gait, anorexia and expiratory grunt for the past three days. Based on clinical signs and ultrasonographic examination it was diagnosed as Hydroallantois. Successful pervaginal fetal delivery and complete recovery of the dam was reported by combination of abdominocentesis, medical termination of pregnancy and proper postoperative care in this present case.
