Abstract:
A 3 years old non-descript goat in her third parity was presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Obstetrical Unit, Tirunelveli with the complaint of blood mixed vaginal discharge since 2 days. As per the history, animal had completed five months of gestation. There was foul smelling reddish grey in colour discharge coming out from the external genitalia. On obstetrical examination, cervix was dilated and pieces of fetal bony parts were palpated in the vaginal passage as well in the uterus. Fetal bones were successfully removed per-vaginally after proper lubrication with carboxy methyl cellulose. Post-obstetrical radiograph showed absence of remnants, bony structures in the uterus. The doe was recovered uneventfully without any further complications.
