Correction and Management of Uterine Prolapse in a goat in Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, Santhia, Pabna: A clinical case report

Abstract

A 2-year old local breed goat was bought to Santhia Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, Pabna with a history of uterine prolapse immediately after parturition. On clinical examination the doe was found apparently healthy. The prolapsed uterus was cleaned with diluted potassium permanganate solution. After low epidural anaesthesia with 2% Lidocaine HCL (3 ml) the protruded mass was pushed back to in its normal position. Afterwards, Buhner’s suture was applied subcutaneously which was parallel to the valva. The suture was removed after 10 days. Post operative care was prospectively followed for 60 days until the goat came to heat. At the post-operative phase antibiotic (Streptopenicillin -1.5 ml IM for 5 days and Histanol 1.5 ml IM for 5 days was given. The doe was recovered from the problem without any complication.
