Surgical Treatment of Uterine Prolapse in a Mare: Clinical Report
Journal Title: Iranian Journal of Veterinary Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Case Description- A 6-year-old mare suffering from uterine prolapsed was presented to the veterinary clinic. The uterus was prolapsed 4 hours following a normal foaling. Clinical Findings- Initial evaluations of the uterus revealed that prolapsed part of uterus (about 60 centimeters) was congested but its endometrial tissue was seen viable. Treatment and Outcome- Before treatment, epidural anaesthesia was applied to prevent straining. Then the prolapsed uterine was washed by normal saline and following a distended bladder was drained by a soft rubber stallion catheter. Finally the prolapsed part of uterus was returned to its normal anatomic position by gentle manipulation. To prevent the recurrence of prolapse vulva was sutured by Buhner's method. Administrations of intramuscular oxytocin, systemic antibiotics with flunixin meglumine and calcium gluconate solution were post-operative procedures in 5 days. Clinical Relevance- Uterine prolapse is not a common condition in the mare. Uterine prolapse in the mare is easy to replace when treated in the early period. If the uterine prolapse is recognized early and treated immediately, prognosis is usually good.
