Abstract

A five-year-old female cow was presented to the Dharmapuri district veterinary clinic, Tamil Nādu with severe
straining and ruptured first water bag. Per vaginal examination revealed incompletely dilated cervix, and foetal parts
were not palpable. The treatment included induction therapy for further dilatation of cervix. The abnormality of the
foetal parts may lead to certain congenital anomaly. After thorough lubrication of the birth canal mild traction was
applied to deliver the impacted fetus. The morphological appearance of the stillborn calf revealed that the condition
was perosomus elumbis. The cow had an uneventful recovery.
