Abstract:
Post-partum uterine prolapse is a common emergency obstetrical problem in ruminants but sometimes leads to severe complications. A seven-year-old Mehsana buffalo in her third lactation was presented with a history of post-partum uterine prolapse that occurred after 4 hrs of normal parturition. The buffalo showed severe abdominal straining and passed feces through the vulva for eight days. The prolapsed mass contains the strangulated part of the intestine through a tear at the tip of the uterine horn. The case was successfully managed by end-to-end anastomosis, followed by proper replacement, and repositioning of genitalia with retention. The buffaloes had passed watery to semisolid feces within 36 hours of operation. The buffalo showed an uneventful recovery without any observable complications.
