In this case, a caesarean section was performed on 2 red deer aged 4 and 7 who underwent dystocia. When the deer were brought to our clinic, they had been in labour for 6 h and 1 day, respectively, and the calves were dead. The foetal forefeet were found hanging from the vulva at the general examination. Deer 1's parturition was human-assisted but the outcome was not good and it was decided to operate on the animal. In deer 2, parturition was taking too long and so it was decided to operate immediately. The deer were sedated and anaesthetised by …

The aim of this clinical study was to investigate the effects of oxytocin and cloprostenol application via umbilical artery on the time and rate of fetal membrane removal in cows with dystocia immediately after parturition. Metabolic profiles indicated certain serum biochemical parameters that were also determined in the cows. The study was performed on 60 cows with dystocia. All of the cows were randomly divided into 3 equal subgroups. The first group was injected with 100 IU oxytocin, while the second group was treated with 0.15 mg cloprostenol and the third group (the control group) received 10 mL 0.9% NaCl …

A 4-year-old Chios ewe was submitted to the Clinic of Farm Animals (School of Veterinary Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki). The animal had delivered 2 healthy lambs, 2 days earlier, and was inappetent, depressed, and reluctant to move, while it had tachycardia and tachypnea. The cervix was opened at a dilation of 1 finger in diameter and fetid fetal membranes expelled from the vagina. Serum biochemistry revealed renal and liver disease, while ultrasonography revealed uterine dilatation. Laparotomy revealed a partly autolysed embryo in the uterus and gangrenous metritis. Clostridium perfringens and Escherichia coli were isolated in bacterial cultures from the …
