Abstract

A pregnant graded Murrah buffalo at eight months of gestation in third parity having bilateral distension of abdomen was presented. The case was diagnosed as hydramnios and treated with dinoprost tromethamine, diethyl stilbesterol, valethamate bromide and dexamethasone. After 76 hours, cervix was dilated fully and trans-cervical amniocentesis was performed and approximately 60-70 litres of amniotic fluid was drained and a dead male fetus with cleft palate was delivered.
