Rohith Ruban T, Suresh S, Hari Prasad K and Santhosh VR
A four-years-old full-term pregnant Bargur cow was brought to the Veterinary Dispensary, Bargur, Erode, Tamil Nadu, with the history of frequent lying down and getting up, recurrent straining, anxiety and inappetence for the past 6 hours. There was sinking of the lumbosacral spine along with elevated tail head. On per vaginal examination, the clock wise (to the cow’s right) post cervical uterine torsion was collaterally diagnosed along with the help of anamnesis. After stabilization of the animal, the uterine torsion was amended by Schaffer’s Method and the foetus was relieved by simple traction.
