Abstract

Hydrometra is one of the causes of infertility in goats and this condition is known as pseudopregnacy in
goats. Pseudopregnancy is also observed in bitches, sow and mare. But in these animals hydrometra is not
observed in pseudopregnancy. A total of 20 hydrometra cases were diagnosed, which showed hypoechoiec
fluid in the uterus on ultra sound scanning. All the cases were treated with injection Cloprostenol at the dose of
250 μg each IM, twice at 1 1 - 1 2 days interval. Draining of uterine fluids was observed 2-5 days after first dose
of Cloprostenol injection. 18/20 goats exhibited estrus within 2-5 days after 2 injection of Cloprostenol and
out of the 1 8 estrus goats 14 become pregnant after breeding.
