abstract
Prolapse and retained fetal membranes are among one of the most commonly occurring pathologies following parturition in animals. CVP normally occurs in dairy cattle during the last trimester of gestation and is more common among buffaloes. A field case of retention of the placenta with mild CVP in murrah graded buffalo is presented and discussed, which was adequately managed by manual repositioning of the prolapsed mass followed by placenta removal. Various factors that predisposed to the prevailing conditions as ruled out from owner history and animal examination was imbalance/deficiency of various minerals and vitamins. Additionally, an animal was reared on the inclined uneven sloping floor which further aggravated the condition. Three day treatment protocol with systemic antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and supportive therapy helped in the full recovery of the animal. However, owner’s history, awareness and early reporting of the case were helpful for proper prognosis.
