Abstract

A pluriparous crossbred cow was presented with sudden bilateral abdominal distension. Based on gynaeco-clinical and ultrasonographic investigation, the case was diagnosed for hydrallantois. Medical termination of the pregnancy was initiated using Cloprostenol sodium and dexamethasone. An 18G Rusch catheter was fixed trans-cervically in the uterine cavity to allow gradual drainage of fetal fluid. Complete cervical dilation was observed by 48 hrs post treatment, which permitted the extraction of a deceased male fetus
