A CASE REPORT ON PARAPHIMOSIS IN A GROWER PIG

Abstract

A five month old grower Boar (Hampshire) belonging to the Backyard Farm Of Tetultala, Khagrachari Sadar was presented to the Upazila Veterinary hospital , Khagrachari sadar upazila, Khagrachari district with the chief complaint of recurrent penile protrusion. All the vital parameters are normal. Temperature 102⁰ F, heart rate 80/minutes, respiratory rate 31/minutes. The protruded penis was swollen and edematous. Paraphimosis, phimosis, priampism were all considered as differential diagnosis. A tentative diagnosis of paraphimosis however made. The aim of therapy was to reduce the swelling, prevent infection, protect the exposed mucous membrane and ultimately return the protruded penis to its normal position, the normal reduction was not attempted, the purse string suture was eventually applied. The suture was removed after 10 days. The post operative care was prospectively followed for until the recovery. At post-operative phase antibiotic (Streptopenicillin) 1.5 ml intramuscularly for 5 days and antihistamin 1.5 ml intramuscularly for 5 days and Povin ointment was given. The Boar was recovered from the problem without any complication.
