Abstract

A four years old, full term pregnant, primiparous non-descriptive buffalo was presented to the Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India with the history of straining for the past 10 h and ruptured water bag with no further progress in parturition. Based on the obstetrical examination, the case was diagnosed as dystocia due to foetal monstrosity and a Perosomus horridus monster foetus was delivered per-vaginum successfully and the dam had an uneventful recovery.
