Abstract

A five-year old full-term pregnant Holstein-Friesian crossbred cow with the history of straining for the past 12 hours was presented to the Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital. Based on the clinical examinations, the case was diagnosed as dystocia due to foetal ascites. Successful per-vaginal delivery of foetal anomaly calf with spinal dysraphism was reported in this communication.
