A graded buffalo at fourth calving was presented with the history of persistent straining and unable
to deliver the fetus. Clinical examination revealed dystocia due to posterior presentation with severe fetal
hydroperitoneum. Successful pervaginal delivery was carried out by obstetrical mutation, abdominocentesis
and controlled traction. Post mortem examination with histopathological study revealed hydronephrosis with
tubular degeneration.
