Abstract

A pluriparous crossbred cow was brought to college hospital with the history of dystocia. After stabilizing the animal with first aid treatment the thorough clinical examination under epidural analgesia revealed emphysematous fetus yielding fetid smell with lateral displacement of head and neck. Under liberal lubrication with 1% carboxy methyl cellulose gel (CMC) subcutaneous partial fetotomy was performed and through simple mutations and traction the emphysematosed fetus was removed.
