RUMINAL EVISCERATION THROUGH A DOG BITE WOUND IN A GOAT.

    

 


                   Goats and Sheep in India are generally reared on a free-range system, making them susceptible to dog bites. 

                One of the most common traumatic injuries in livestock is caused by a dog bite. 

                The etiology for the present case was due to the dog bitten wound which leads deep bite wound through which the rumen gets eviscerated. 

                Eviscerated organs are exposed to the environment there are more chances for contamination and congestion. 

                The case was presented without delay and contamination of the eviscerated contents was minimal.           

               Emergency surgical operations were performed and life was revived.

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.   ...
