Abstract

This case report describes resolving a case of fetal mummification in a doe with a single fetus at 105±12 days of gestation. A 3.5 years old pleuriparous, non-descript pregnant doe was presented to the Referral Veterinary Polyclinic, IVRI Izatnagar. The case was diagnosed as fetal mummification after the delivery of a dead mummified fetus after medical treatment and manual intervention.
