SHORT COMMUNICATION study were uterine torsion, incomplete cervical dilation and narrow pelvis, while fetal causes mainly included fetal mal-disposition, fetal emphysema, fetal monster and fetal oversize. Fetal causes were observed to be predominant in cattle (68.76%) in comparison to maternal causes (31.24%), however in buffalo maternal causes were predominant (54.35%) in comparison to fetal causes (45.65 %). The common cause of dystocia of maternal origin in buffalo was uterine torsion, which contributed to 41.30% of total dystocia cases and in case of cattle dystocia occurred mainly due to fetal mal-disposition which contributed to 46.87% of total dystocia cases of cattle. Fetal mal-disposition contributed 68.18 % (15/22) out of total fetal causes of dystocia in cattle and uterine torsion contributed 76 % (19/25) out of total maternal causes of dystocia in buffalo.
Dystocia due to Disproportion Maternal Pelvis in a Cow and Its Management
One non descriptive cow in her first parity was presented with history of dystocia. Per-vaginal examination revealed presence of emphysematous foetus with deformed maternal pelvis leading to squeezing of birth canal. So immediately planned for caesarean section. Required padding of sterile drapes around the gravid uterus was made to avoid contamination of abdomen by the uterine content and then the dead and emphysematous fetus was removed. Laparotomy wound was closed as per routine manner. Post-operatively administration of antibiotics, analgesics, fluid therapy and regular wound dressing were done till healing. After 12 days of operation skin sutures were removed and the cow recovered well.
A 5-year (2010-2014) retrospective study of dystocia cases presented and managed in veterinary clinics located in north western Nigeria, was carried out using clinical case records. All records containing cases of dystocia were carefully studied and recorded. Dystocia accounted for 0.9% of 31106 cases presented and managed within the study period. A total of 10,351, 14,185 and 6570 cases where reported in Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara respectively. Ovine is the most affected species (74.4%) followed by caprine (20.3%) and lastly bovine (5.3%). The breed of bovine affected with dystocia are sokoto gudali (78.6%) and white fulani (21.4%) while for ovine are yankasa (40%), balami (25.3%), ouda (24.7%) and cross breed (10%). While for caprine are red Sokoto goats (85%) and West African dwarf (15%). Oversized fetus is the common cause in ovine and bovine while for caprine is twinning. Manual traction is the most common management used followed by caesarean section in both ovine and caprine while for bovine is caesarean section. It is recommended that, more work should be done to reduce dystocia occurrence, enlighten people about cross breeding and proper record keeping so as to know the total number of cases recorded.

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 ...
A Caesarean operation was undertaken to relieve a dystocia problem in a Sokoto Gudali cow. The four years old cow with an estimated weight of 300kg was presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto by a client from the Minanata area of Sokoto town on 13/05/2012. The cow was managed semi-intensively with three other cows and was usually supplemented with wheat bran and corn stalk. The patient was routinely dewormed, but no history of vaccination. On physical examination, the patient was recumbent and straining intermittently; on vaginal exploration, the cervix was found to be dilated. The temperature, pulse and respiratory rate 40.1°C, 85beats/minutess and 30 cycles/minutes respectively. The foetus was found to be in anterior presentation, dorsal position, and the limbs were extended but the foetal neck was deviated to the left. Manual manipulation to correct the foetal posture proves impossible .hence the dystocia was relieved through aseptic caesarean operation. The procedure and the role of caesarean operation in animal husbandry were discussed in the paper.
Dystocia Handling by Cesarean Section in Beetal Goat in Pakistan: A Surgical Approach
Journal of Animal Health and Production
| Dystocia in Beetal goat breed is common due to keeping of mixed herd of different breeds at the same place. A vaginal examination should not practice unless required, as it may result in drastic effects over kid and goat as well. A non-descriptive pregnant Beetal goat was presented with the signs of left fore-limb protruding out since 2 days from the vulva. On ultrasonographic examination, it was concluded that the dystocia was due to fetal maternal disproportion. The caesarean section was performed under complete aseptic conditions to avoid any post-operative infection. The left flank approach was used under inverted L block on left Para lumber fossa by using 2% Lignocaine. Alive fetus with an intact umbilical cord was drawn out from the uterus of the goat. Suturing was performed as per standard surgical methods and post-operative care was done including antiseptic dressing of wound and pain management for five days. It is suggested that separate breed herd management should be a practice to avoid such life-threatening conditions.
MANAGEMENT OF FETAL DYSTOCIA IN A EWE: A CASE REPORT
Journal of Advanced Veterinary and Animal Research, 2015
Dystocia or difficulty in parturition in a ewe may need veterinary assistance for the successful parturition. An adult ewe weighing 30 kg was presented to the Hospital of Veterinary Medicine, Universiti Putra Malaysia with the history of difficulty in giving birth. Physical examination of the ewe revealed that the animal was weak and in recumbent position. Head of a dead fetus was observed as protruding out from the vulva region. Through physical evaluation of the ewe by per vaginal examination, the condition was diagnosed as fetal dystocia. Treatment and management plans given to the ewe were episiotomy and manipulative delivery of the dead fetus via mutation and traction method. Post-operative treatment was given with Flunixin meglumine (dosed at 2.2 mg/kg bwt) for 3 days, and Norodine (dosed at 1 mL/16-kg bwt) once intramuscularly. The case was completely cured after 2 weeks. The risk of losing the lamb as well as the ewe increases with delay in treatment of dystocia.

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.
A Case Report on Surgical Management of Dystocia in Heifers Due to Narrow Pelvis and Immaturity
Narrow pelvis is characterized as an insufficient maternal bony pelvis that does not allow for fetal transit due to a variety of factors. Animal immaturity is one of these reasons. This communication was written with the goal of documenting surgical management of dystocia and its impact on a two-year-old heifer who was with a full-term pregnancy. A vaginal delivery was tried but failed due to the narrow maternal pelvis. To avoid any post-operative problems, the surgical management was carried out under strict aseptically. A volume of 30 ml 2% Lidocaine Hydrochloride was infiltrated on left flank with inverted L-block techniques. While the cow was on her right lateral recumbency. The uterus was emptied of a deceased fetus but fetal membrane with the intact umbilical cord was returned back to the womb. Suturing was done using standard surgical procedures, and post-surgical care was followed-up for ten-days. The heifer was successfully rehabilitated.
