Abstract
This article discussed about a case of per-vaginal management of dystocia in a cross breed cow due to fetal ascites cause. A 3.5 years old cross breed cow was presented at Mobile Veterinary Clinic, Gosaba Block, South 24 Paragans, West Bengal with a history of prolonged labor. The water bag was ruptured but there was no progression of parturition. Per-vaginal examination revealed that the cervix was completely dilated and the fetus was in anterior longitudinal presentation with an extremely distended abdomen. The case was diagnosed as dystocia due to fetal ascites. After epidural anesthesia, the abdominal wall of fetus was punctured with a fetotomy knife and about 5-7 liters of clear straw colored ascitic fluid was evacuated. Finally fetus was removed by gentle traction. Post operative therapy with antibiotics, analgesic, intravenous fluid and multivitamin successfully cured the animal.
