“…Gathering information on subsequent fertility and lambing ease was hindered by a substantial percentage of animals having been slaughtered, potentially in anticipation of future problems (Brounts et al., 2004). Culling is generally advised for cases of vaginal prolapse due to a risk of recurrence (Noakes, 2019), and this was reflected in our study population. However, culling decisions do not seem to be justified for other indications based on the observed pregnancy rate and lambing results.…”

Clinical records of all 212 ewes undergoing emergency caesarean surgery at a veterinary teaching hospital between January 2008 and December 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. Their age ranged from 1 to 10 years (median = 4 years), with German merino the predominant breed (48.1% of cases). The most frequently diagnosed indications were insufficient cervical dilatation (n = 94, 44.3%), uterine torsion (n = 50, 23.6%), foetopelvic disproportion (n = 31, 14.6%) and vaginal prolapse intra partum (n = 11, 5.2%). Fifty‐four (25.5%) of the 212 ewes additionally suffered from one or more concurrent, pre‐existing conditions. Overall ewe mortality until hospital discharge was 10.8% (23/212), and 3.8% (n = 6) for the 158 ewes without a history of concurrent disorders. Mortality during hospitalization increased to 31.5% (17/54) for those with pre‐existing conditions. Total lamb mortality was 49.1% (173/352) until hospital discharge. Pre‐existing conditions (p = .001) and the presence of post‐surgical complications (p = .025) were identified as significant factors influencing dam mortality, while delayed presentation for veterinary attention with an observed duration of labour of >12 hr was identified as the most influential factor on total lamb mortality (p = .010). The presence of dead or emphysematous foetuses was not significant for ewe mortality. Follow‐up information on further outcomes was available for 156 (82.5%) of the 189 discharged ewes. Eighty‐nine animals (57.1%) were re‐bred in the following season and achieved a 93.3% (83/89) pregnancy rate, while the remainder had either been slaughtered (n = 56, 35.9%), sold (n = 5, 3.2%) or had died of unknown causes (n = 3, 1.9%). The subsequent incidence of dystocia was 15.6% (n = 12) in the 77 ewes with available information on lambing ease. Adequate management of underlying conditions and timely intervention are important factors for best possible short‐term outcomes. In the long term, the subsequent pregnancy rate was good and the incidence of subsequent dystocia was within the normal range.

Key Clinical MessageSchistosomus reflexus (SR), an unusual congenital defect in calves, can be diagnosed grossly by exposed viscera and curved spine with hindquarters twisted up toward the head. SR is typically associated with dystocia and fetal deaths in cows. Hence, cattle breeding programs must be aware of these anomalies to avoid losses from abnormal, non‐viable calves.AbstractSchistosomus reflexus (SR) is a rare and fatal congenital malformation in bovines from autosomal recessive disorders. We report a typical case of SR in a non‐viable calf after the cesarean section of a crossbred Friesian cow. It was characterized by the inversion of the spinal column and a pronounced ventral curvature causing the cranium to be positioned near the sacrum and tail, along with exposed thoracic and abdominal viscera, limb ankylosis, and tongue protrusion. The postoperative management of the cow, along with the outcome, is also described here.

“…A rupture of the vaginal wall with evisceration of the intestines, bladder or even uterus therefore also associated as severe complications of untreated CVP (Veeraiah and Srinivas, 2010). Another complication that requires an urgent interference is the containment of the urinary bladder in the CVP, this kind of displacement leads to obstruction of the urethra that may cause urinary bladder over-distension and subsequently rupture (Noakes et al, 2009, Pugh, 2002.…”

A four-years-old pluriparours (parity; n=2) pregnant Kanze/Dershawy ewe, of a body weight about 40 kg at Halayeb city, Red Sea province, Egypt was presented with a history of restlessness, straining, and appearance of a permanent/complete cervico-vaginal prolapse as a smooth, red, and rounded mass at the rear end of the ewe. There was no history of previous cervico-vaginal prolapse during or after previous pregnancies. Complete procedures of the appropriate successful treatment were described in this study. Briefly, treatment was performed under caudal epidural analgesia; the prolapsed mass was immediately covered with a towel soaked in water, examined for presence of injuries/rupture, raised to evacuate the urinary bladder, replaced by manual fist pressure and by the flat of hands, and finally retention suture was used to prevent the possible reoccurrence. The suture material had been removed before lambing, and the owner was advised to cull the ewe or at least excluded from further breeding.
