| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
The mucosal surface of uterus - with its cotyledons - is visible and part of the chorioallantois may still be attached |
| Disease Description |
Prolapse of the uterus is a common complication of the third stage of labour in the cow. In the ruminant species the prolapse is generally a complete inversion of the gravid cornu, while in the sow and the bitch inversion is generally partial and comprises one horn only. The occurrence seems to be affected by seasonal as well as regional factors, the condition being commoner in some years and in some localities. Multigravida (of the dairy breeds) are more often involved than are heifers. In the majority of
instances the prolapse occurs within a few hours of an otherwise normal second-stage labour, although in some it may be delayed several days. In the latter group the condition is generally associated with a grossly protracted and assisted labour. Rarely, where delivery is achieved by heavy traction, the uterus prolapses immediately after
the calf is withdrawn. |
| Disease Control |
The mucosal surface of uterus - with its cotyledons - is visible and part of the chorioallantois may still be attached |
| Disease Prevention |
At adult age |
| Precautions |
Maintain sanitary conditions in herd. Isolation of affected animals from healthy animals |
| Procedure of Use |
S S Kamat of Karwar district in Karnataka uses the extract of the touch-me-not(Mimosa pudica)plant to treat prolapse of the uterus in animals. If the uterus comes out during delivery,Kamat pushes the uterus inside slowly after applying extract of touch-me-not plant to the hands. He prepares the extract by crushing two or three handfuls of the leaves of touch-me-not plant. |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
The cause of prolapse of the uterus is not clear, but there is no doubt that it occurs during the third stage of labour, within a few hours of the expulsion of the calf, and at a time when some of the fetal cotyledons have separated from the maternal caruncles. |
| Global Context |
Uterine prolapse spreads worldwide in cattle. |
| Lesson Implication |
|
| Other Medications / Treatments |
Replacing fluids and electrolytes (such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride). Oral rehydration therapy. Antibiotics. Remove the placenta or its remnants from the cotyladons- if it separates easily. If its not, leave it attached. Repair any gross damage such as tearing using an absorbable suture. Reducing the size of prolapse. |
