Obturator Nerve Paralysis along with Stifle dislocation

 Obturator Nerve Paralysis


           











           Excessive pulling to deliver a calf, pulling a calf straight out from the cow rather than down and backwards or having the calf in the birth canal too long (several hours), predisposes the nerve to mechanical injury.

         This is common when assisted delivery is done without involving an experienced veterinarian and where there is feto-pelvic disproportion.

         Signs showing the abduction of right and left hind limb and hind limb extend forward.


Stifle Dislocation 

         A downer cow in lateral recumbency. On clinical examination hind limb is abducted and on extension of hind limb it forms an angle 90 degree  (Perpendicular to body ) suggestive of dislocation ie. Stifle dislocation (Luxation of stifle joint).

Thelitis in Buffalo Heifer

THELITIS                  Thelitis is a disease affecting primarily the h igh-yielding primiparous graded Murrah milch buffaloes and causing serious economic losses to the farmers.                The disease is characterized by acute inflammation of one or more teats with subsequent thickening, narrowing or closure of the teat canal leading to incomplete milk drainage.                The quality of milk appears to be normal unlike in clinical mastitis.               Thelitis may lead to ulceration, focal necrosis, and partial or complete sloughing off the affected teat.                Healing may be delayed due to the trauma of milking and secondary bacterial infections. Treatment          Corticosteroids are effective in treating thelitis ...

Surgical Therapy - Teat Laceration

    Teat Lacerations.              Incidence of teat lacerations is relatively higher in  goats  due to  pendulous udder  and  long teats.                In Bovines lacerations may occur due to a  direct injury  which might even be  self inflicted .               Barbed wire fences, thorny bushes and some agricultural implements may cause deep injuries.             Deep lacerations which involve mucosa are best  sutured  with animal in lateral recumbency after deep sedation or local in filtration (Ring block).               Deep lacerations includes mucosa, submucosa, muscularis and skin (from inner aspect).               For patency of the teat, teat siphon or scalp vein set can be used.   ...
