uterine inertia
uterine rupture
tx for uterine inertia
Calcium borogluconate (CBG) with or without forced extraction
Give ½ of calculated dose IV, other half SC for sustainability of contractility
tx for uterine rupture
Laparotomy and repair
expulsive forces
uterine torsion
tx for uterine torsion
Schaffer method (“plank in flank” method). Rolling cow around fetus which is kept in place by applying pressure to her abdomen by a person standing on the plank
schaeffer method is not done in
horses
Less common in buffalo compared to cattle due to more capacious pelvis, larger area of ileum and free and easily separable 5th sacral vertebra (wider)
