- Abstract
This case report describes a four and a half year old female buffalo that was brought with a history of full term pregnancy. The buffalo had been straining for the past 12 h after the rupture of the water bag, but there was no progress in the delivery process. During the clinical assessment, the buffalo exhibited a normal body temperature, laboured breathing, and showed a slightly increased heart rate and pulse rate. Transvaginal palpation detected a cervix that was completely dilated, with two limbs protruding into the birth canal. The foetal belly was enlarged, rigid, and contained a significant amount of fluid, which caused pressure fluctuations over the pelvic brim. The clinical examination determined that the foetus is in a posterior presentation and there is ascites present. The dystocia was resolved with the use of abdominocentesis or obstetrical manoeuvres at the veterinary clinical complex in Kumarganj, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The buffalo was successfully recovered without any complications.
