Fetal extraction or traction in animals refers to the assisted delivery of a fetus through the birth canal using obstetrical instruments like chains, snares, or extractors, especially during dystocia.
The principal purpose of obstetrical operation is to deliver a viable fetus and to prevent injury to the dam.
Epidural anaesthesia is a commonly used regional anaesthetic technique in veterinary obstetrics, especially in large animals like cows, buffaloes, and mares.
In order to achieve a safe and humane delivery in some types of dystocia, the induction of local, regional, or general anaesthesia in the dam is essential.
Obstetrical equipment and instruments are essential tools in the management of parturition in animals, aiding in the safe delivery of the fetus and ensuring the well-being of the dam.
The approach to an obstetrical case in animals requires a systematic and careful evaluation to ensure the safety of both the dam and the fetus.
Obstetrical Terminologies (P1, P2 and P3) refer to the specific terms used to describe fetal orientation during parturition in animals.
Causes of Dystocia include maternal factors like weak uterine contractions, a narrow birth canal, or hormonal imbalances, as well as …
Dystocia is a condition in which the dam has difficulty or is unable to deliver the fetus without artificial assistance.
Uterine involution in animals is influenced by several factors, including species, parity, hormonal balance, and postpartum management.
