Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs
Disease Description	Prolapse of the uterus invariably occurs immediately after or within several hours of parturition, when the cervix is open and the uterus lacks tone. Prolapse of the postgravid uterine horn usually is complete in cows, and the mass of uterus usually hangs below the hocks. The invagination of the contralateral horn, which is prevented from exteriorization by the strong intercornual ligament, can be located by careful examination of the surface of the prolapsed organ. In sows, one horn may become everted while unborn piglets in the other prevent further prolapse. In small animals, complete prolapse of both uterine horns is usual. A contributory cause in sheep may be grazing estrogenic pastures. https://www.msdvetmanual.com/reproductive-system/uterine-prolapse-and-eversion/overview-of-uterine-prolapse-and-eversion

Precautions
Procedure of Use	The animal shows initial signs of pain as well as palpitation. If the period is prolonged, swelling is observed and blood oozes from the uterus region. For the treatment, one kilogram sugar is dissolved in water and then mixed with two kilogram flour of gram (Cicer arietinum) is fed for three days to the affected animal. This treatment will provide relief to the animal. Apart from this treatment, 20 kg sorghum (Sorghum vulgare) is grinded into coarse powder. Daily 1 kg of coarse powder is boiled and fed to the animal for 20 days. This treatment will provide permanent relief of the problem. There is no side effect of this method.
