Abstract:
A one and half year-old nondescript primiparous goat was presented with a case history of protrusion of mass through the vulva after two hours of kidding. On clinical examination, animal was apparently healthy and showed hypothermic. The prolapsed uterus was oedematous, soiled with faeces, dirt and blood clots. The everted uterus was carefully assessed and gross debris gently removed and disinfected with dilute Potassium permanganate solution. Epidural anaesthesia was achieved using 2 ml of 2% lignocaine hydrochloride injection administered at the intercoccygeal joint and modified Buhner’s suture was applied. Animal had an uneventful recovery upon 8 days of the treatment.
