Tolulope Adeoye Ajayi, Olufisayo Oluwadamilare Leigh.


Abstract
ABSTRACT
Dystocia is a common breeding problem in bitches, with regards to various causes of maternal, fetal, or combined origin.
This case report describes dystocia sequel to pelvic fracture in a 6.2kg, 2-year-old Lhasa Apso female dog. She was presented with a history of difficulty in whelping for over 12 hours. On physical examination, she showed moderate dehydration (˂ 5%), distended abdomen, and intermittent abdominal contractions. History revealed that the dog had a pelvic fracture as a puppy (6 months of age) due to an automobile accident. Surgical reduction of the pelvic fracture and elective spaying were recommended, but the dog owner declined.
She was represented 18 months later for an abdominal ultrasound scan which confirmed 4 weeks pregnancy. Elective cesarean section was suggested, but the dog owner did not show up at term until the bitch had dystocia.
Obstetrical manipulations were carried out via traction and retropulsion to remove the dead fetus occluding the birth canal and she was able to deliver the three other fetuses alive.
This case report is aimed at educating dog owners on dystocia and the need for timely intervention.
It also adds to knowledge of conservative management of a dystocia case.

Key words: Keywords: contraceptive, dystocia, fracture, pelvis, ultrasound.
