Abstract

A pluriparous non-descript buffalo was presented to the Veterinary Clinical Complex with a history of difficulty in parturition for 10 h. After a thorough examination of the animal, it was confirmed that dystocia is due to the schistosoma reflexus fetal monster. The monster fetus was delivered per-vaginally with the help of plenty of lubrication and slightly judicious obstetrical manipulations.
