Abstract

A 5-year-old female non-descript goat was presented to Referral Veterinary Polyclinic, ICAR-Indian Veterinary
Research Institute in Bareilly, with signs of anorexia, restlessness and severe straining. The first water bag was
reportedly observed externally two hours before the presentation of the animal to the clinic. On per-vaginal examination
the foetus was oedematous and bloated with no suckling and corneal reflexes. The condition was diagnosed as foetal
anasarca through the per-vaginal examination and could not be removed per vaginally by traction. The condition was
managed successfully by surgical intervention and the animal had an uneventful recovery.
