Abstract

Pervaginal examination in pluriparous ewe with the history of dystocia was carried out using a vaginal
speculum. The twisting of vagina in clockwise fashion was revealed, however, the cervix was not visible. Schaffer’s
method of detorsion using a plank was adopted with a few modifications. The lambing was successful after rolling
the ewe on its right side.
