ABSTRACT
Sabiza S, Khajeh A, Naddaf
H., Removal
of Schistosomus reflexus
via vaginal manipulation in a cow., Onl J Vet Res., 27 (12):670-673, 2023. A 2 year full term
pregnant heifer presented with labor and amniotic sac rupture for ~12h. Rectal
temperature was 38.9⁰C, heart 72/min and respiratory rate 27/min with
pale mucus membranes. Blood tests were normal and Rose Bengal agglutination
test, negative. Normal dilation of cervix and vaginal examination revealed a
wet inflamed birth canal. Both forelimbs and hind limbs were in birth canal but
head was not. Protrusion of a hind limb
and tail suggested posterior fetal dorso-sacral
position. We found cervical dilatation sufficient to deliver fetus and hence
lubricated birth passage profusely with obstetric gel. To remove fetus, we
applied traction on the hind limbs whilst pushing forelimbs cranially into
abdominal cavity. Fetus was delivered with fetal membranes and viscera. In this
manner, the dead monster fetus was delivered via vagina without epidural anesthesia, fetotomy, episiotomy or cervicotomy.
Key word: Per-vaginal, Schistosomus reflexus, cow.
