Modified vulvoplasty for correction of pneumovagina in jersey crossbred cow

Abstract

This work presents a concise report of successful surgical management of pneumovagina in Jersey crossbred cow using modified vulvoplasty. Pneumovagina was diagnosed based on clinical examination which showed stronger vulval lip movement that suck air with purring sound. Modified vulvoplasty was performed under epidural anaesthesia & local infiltration of 2% Lignocaine. Vulval labia was superficially excised and sutured using horizontal mattress. Post operatively antibiotic (Ceftriaxone - 10mg/Kg, IM) were administered for five days and NSAIDs (Meloxicam - 0.5mg/Kg, IM) administered for three days. 10 days later, suture was removed and the air sucking was completely stopped
