Abstract

The present case report presents a series of eleven clinical cases involving various obstetrical emergencies in goats, occurring during advanced stages of pregnancy, at the time of parturition, and in the postpartum period. The documented obstetrical conditions of maternal origin include rupture of the prepubic tendon, narrow pelvis, ring womb, hydroallantois, postpartum uterine prolapse, and those of foetal origin include breech presentation, monocephalic monster, Perosomus horridus, internal hydrocephalus, foetal anasarca, and foetal emphysema. Every case was treated successfully through caesarean section or various mutational operations to save the life of the dam. With appropriate post-treatment, all the does had uneventful recoveries. This report highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention in ensuring successful outcomes in goat obstetrical emergencies.
