Emergency Cesarean Sections in a Goat Due to Feto-Pelvic Disproportion: A Clinical Case Report
Abstract: Dystocia is a common reproductive disorder in small ruminants with significant welfare and economic implications. This report describes the successful management of dystocia in a primiparous goat caused by foeto-pelvic disproportion. A one-year-old goat presented with anorexia, restlessness, and prolonged straining. Clinical examination revealed elevated heart and respiratory rates with normal body temperature. Vaginal examination indicated full cervical dilation but inability to deliver the fetus due to a narrow maternal pelvis. A cesarean section was performed under regional anesthesia via the lower left flank approach. The fetus was successfully removed, and the uterus and abdominal layers were sutured using standard techniques. Postoperative care included antibiotics, analgesics, and antiseptic wound management. The animal recovered uneventfully. This case highlights the importance of timely surgical intervention in dystocia cases where vaginal delivery is not feasible, thereby improving survival outcomes.
