2012
Abstract A seven year old female camel was presented with a history of dystocia and uterine prolapse. The prolapse was extensive hence the dead fetus was removed by cesarean section using left lower flank laparohysterotomy. The uterus was replaced back and the vagina was sutured using umbilical tape. Post-operative care comprised of administration of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs along with vitamin supplements and intra uterine therapy. There was an uneventful recovery.
Management of Dystocia in Camelids
2008
Dystocia is the most common emergency in camelid practice. The aim of the present paper is to review the most important clinical features of normal parturition and to discuss obstetrical situations in camelids and their non-surgical and surgical management, including prepartum and term uterine torsion. This clinical review includes both Old and New World camelids. Resume La dystocie est la situation d'urgence la plus frequemment rencontree en pratique des camelides. Le but de cet article est de faire le point sur les facettes cliniques les plus importantes associees a la parturition normale. Nous discutons aussi des problemes obstetriques rencontres chez les camelides, incluant la torsion uterine avant et durant la parturition, et de leur regie chirurgicale ou non-chirurgicale.

Cesarean section in dromedary camels under field conditions in United Arab Emirates
2013
In this study we analyze the causes of dystocia in 17 camels for which cesarean section had to be performed at the farmer’s doorstep, along with the outcome of such surgeries. Maternal causes of dystocia were common (58.82%) indications for the surgery compared to the fetal causes (41.18%). The maternal causes included uterine torsion (17.64%), cervical dilation failure (11.76%), narrow birth canal (11.76%) due to pelvic fracture or dam’s immaturity, uterine rupture (5.88%), uterine prolapse (5.88%) and vaginal rupture (5.88%). The fetal causes included uncorrectable fetal malpostures (29.41%), oversized fetus (5.88%) and schistosoma reflexus (5.88%) monster. Only 35.29% of the calves could be delivered alive and the calf viability depended upon the time of referral (6h-10days) after the onset of 2nd stage of labor. The proportion of male and female calves delivered was 58.82 and 41.18% respectively. With sufficient perioperative care the dam survival was high (70.58%) and only 29.4...
Dystocia in dromedary camels: handling and outcome of fourteen cases
Theriogenology Insight
The handling and outcome of dystocia in dromedary camels (n=14) is described. Dystocia resulted more often from fetal (78.57%) compared to maternal (21.43%) causes. Limb flexion and lateral deviation of head and neck in anterior presentation were the commonest fetal causes comprising 54.54% and 36.36% of total cases of dystocia of fetal origin. The only fetal monster recorded was Perosomus elumbis. Maternal causes of dystocia included one case each of a narrow birth canal due to previous pelvic fracture, a 360 0 uterine torsion and an incomplete cervical dilation. Parturition was successfully induced within 24 h in the latter cause by the IM administration of a combination of 500 µg of cloprostenol and 40 mg of dexamethasone. More number of male fetuses (64.28%) was observed in dystocia cases compared to female fetuses (35.72%).Camels were restrained in sternal recumbency with ropes and occasional sedation by IM administration of 45-90 mg of xylazine. In cases presented early (within 12 h), manual correction of limb flexion was possible and fetal survival was high. When the neck was laterally deviated more cranially correction by manual means was extremely difficult. Fetotomy was less rewarding in camels presented beyond 48 h of onset of second stage of labor. Cesarean section could easily be performed in camels under local infiltration anesthesia and mild sedation with xylazine (0.25 mg/Kg IV) using the left ventrolateral operative site. The dam survival with cesarean section was high and only one of the five operated camels died 5 days post operation. It was concluded that dystocia in camels is primarily of fetal origin. Manual correction is more successful when cases are presented within 12 h, whereas beyond this time cesarean section is a much easier and safer option with high dam survival.

A three year old cross bred cow in first parity was brought to the VGO wing of Referral Veterinary Polyclinic, I.V.R.I. (U.P.) with the history of full term gestation, unproductive straining and severe degree CVP for past 72 hrs. Per-vaginal examination revealed that 1 finger cervical dilation whereas per rectal examination revealed the presence of foetus in anterior presentation and dorsosacral position. The handling of the presented case, obstetrical correction, its post-delivery care and obstetrical management is discussed in the present communication.
Surgical management of dystocia due to uterine adhesion in a goat
Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies, 2018
Dystocia is defined as difficulty in parturition. It is a common condition in small ruminants especially goats. A four year old Malabari goat was presented to Veterinary Polyclinic, Mannarkkad with the history of full term pregnancy and distention of the ventral abdomen. The animal was showing straining intermittently for the past one day without progressing into parturition. Preliminary examinations followed by pervaginal examination identified the need of cesarean section. The goat was sedated using xylazine. Local infiltration analgesia was achieved with 2 % lignocaine hydrochloride at the proposed site of the incision. Left lower abdominal coeliotomy was done. The gravid uterus was identified which was seen attached to the lower abdomen. The uterus was carefully detached from the lower abdominal wall and was lifted towards the incision site. The incision was made on the uterine body. Removed the dead fetus from the uterus. The uterus was sutured, followed by suturing of the peritoneum, muscle layers, and skin. Postoperatively animal was treated with antibiotics for five days. Animals recovered from anesthesia without any complication and made uneventful recovery after the course of antibiotics along with other supportive therapy.
Title: Dystocia in dromedary camels: prevalence, forms, risks and hematobiochemical changes
The objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence of dystocia in camel herds, its forms in primi- and multipara, the risks to fetus and dam, and the associated hematobiochemical changes. A total of 1890 calvings were surveyed for the prevalence of dystocia. Cases with dystocia (n = 107) were examined for causes and treated with traction, fetotomy or Cesarean section. Logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors. The dependent variables were the fetal and maternal mortality, while the independent variables were parity, duration of dystocia, causes of dystocia, and method of treatment. Blood samples were collected from all dystocia camels and six controls for hematology and concentrations of serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin (Hp), estradiol-17β (E2), progesterone (P4), total protein, albumin, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). The overall prevalence of dystocia was 8.6%. Risk of dystocia was higher in camels managed in an intensive system than in those in a free system (Odds ratio = 1.9, P = 0.0003) and higher in primipara than in multipara (Odds ratio 1.7, P = 0.005). Abnormal posture was the most important cause of dystocia (51.4%). Uterine torsion was the second most important cause (23.4%) and was mainly observed in multipara (P = 0.0006). Dystocia was linked to high fetal mortality (87.9%). A significant relationship was found between fetal death and duration of dystocia (Odds ratio = 8.04, P = 0.005). The percentage of dam mortality was 17.8%. Significant associations were detected between dam mortality rate and the duration of dystocia (Odds ratio = 4.74, P = 0.03) and fetal viability (Odds ratio = 5.82, P = 0.02). Increasing duration of dystocia was associated with significant increases in SAA, Hp, BUN and AST, but with decreases in E2 (P < 0.05). After a transient period of elevation, the white blood cell and neutrophil counts decreased (P < 0.05). In conclusion, abnormal posture and uterine torsion were found to be the 3 common causes of dystocia in dromedary camels, and fetal and maternal deaths were mainly associated with the duration of dystocia.
Cesarean section in camelids: indications, technique, survival, and postoperative fertility
Clinical Theriogenology
Cesarean section is the most common surgery of the reproductive tract in camelids. However, limited information is available on indication, surgical approach, dam survival, postpartum complications, and neonatal survival following cesarean section in camelids. The objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate medical records on 84 camels, 29 alpacas, and 3 llamas to evaluate the above factors. Incomplete cervical dilatation (56%; n = 65/84) and uterine torsion (59.4%, n = 19/32) were the most common indications for cesarean section in camels and South American camelids (SACs), respectively. The neonatal survival (SAC: 46.9%, n = 15/32; camels: 76.2%, n = 64/84) was acceptable, and postoperative fertility was excellent (SACs = 75.86%, camels = 72.6%).

Dystocia in small ruminants mostly occurs when the first or second stage of parturition is delayed. It may occur when the first stage could not progress to the second stage within 30 minutes. In this report, a 2-year-old Yankasa ewe weighing 40 kg was presented at the Usmanu Danfodiyo University Veterinary Teaching Hospital Sokoto with complaints of straining and protruded mass around the vulva which was noticed 12 hours prior to presentation. Clinical examination revealed dullness, straining, a pinkish protruded mass through the vulva and pregnancy in the last trimester. Laboratory results indicated no parasite, leukocytosis, neutrophilia, eosinophilia and bandemia. Manual obstetrical maneuvers were applied to deliver the fetuses but failed. The lambs were delivered through cesarean section and the prolapsed vagina was surgically managed. The dystocia was strongly believed to have occurred in this case due to faulty fetal disposition which subsequently led to vaginal prolapse as a ...
