Abstract:
Uterine prolapse is a most critical emergency obstetrical problem in bovine, which mostly occurs within one day of postpartum and leads to death or future complications in timely untreated cases. A relaxed, atonic, flaccid uterus and tympany and retention of the placenta especially at the ovarian pole of the gravid horn in cows, and low serum calcium levels enhanced the chance of uterine prolapse. 2-3 hours after prolapse the prolapsed mass starts to become edematous and fibrosed some time excessive bleeding may cause the death of the animal. In this review predisposing factors, clinical findings, and management of uterine prolapse are mentioned below.
