Clinical management of dystocia due to incomplete cervical dilationin goat: Case report

Abstract

The incidence of dystocia appears to be greater in dams carrying single and male fetuses. Dystocia causes economic losses for goat farmers. The goal of the present case study was to illustrate the successful clinical management of dystocia caused by ICD or ringwomb. The Veterinary Clinical Complex, ANDUAT, Ayodhya, U.P., received a nondescript doe of first parity with a full-term pregnancy. She had a history of lower abdominal distention and straining for the last 12 hours without advancing into parturition. The animal was treated effectively with DNS, Dexona, Epidosin, CPM, Pregma, and Tribivet. Two dead fetuses were delivered manually with moderate traction.
