Abstract
This case aimed to manage the dystocia due to the postural defect of the dead foetus and save the ewe. Postural defects in the foetus include abnormal presentation, position, or lie, which can lead to dystocia and potential complications for both the dam and neonate. The hips of the foetus were repulsed and rotated in the abdominal cavity with the hands under the gluteal area. The hind limbs were grabbed and manually tracted through the birth canal. Uterine lavage with Normal saline and Septol®, Vetcotrim® boli, antibiotics, diclofenac, Iron dextran®, and Bio-Multimino® injection. On the day the case complaint was presented, during the clinical examinations, the dystocia diagnosed resulted in foetal death due to breech presentation and was noticed late by the owners. The laboratory findings revealed lymphocytosis, anaemia, and hypoproteinemia, while the vital parameters were high from the beginning but subsequently began to drop within the normal range. The vulva of the dam was intact with little discharge, which stopped, and the appetite improved. Breech presentation is difficult to manage using obstetrical manoeuvres, especially if all the limbs are in the abdominal cavity. Rotating the foetus within the cavity is a challenging task that may make you think of opting for surgical intervention. Breech presentation can be managed without performing a caesarean section in sheep with a low PCV of 4%. This case is limited by the unavailability of ultrasound machines in the area.
