Abstract

A nine-year-old non-descriptive cow was presented to Veterinary Clinical Complex, VC&RI, Orathanadu with the history of anorexia, dullness and diarrhoea for past five days with absence of rumination. Clinical examination revealed dehydration and pale mucous membrane. Rumen was hard on palpation with absence of motility. Haematological parameters revealed decreased haemoglobin value. Exploratory laparo-rumenotomy was performed and about 48 kgs of impacted plastic materials along with nylon ropes and wires were removed. Postoperative care and dressing were carried out for five days. The animal made an uneventful recovery.
