MULTIPLE CONGENITAL ANOMALIES IN A KID

Abstract

A nondescript 2-year-old goat was presented to the clinic with a history of dystocia for the last 12 hours. The history revealed that the goat had had two normal kiddings earlier. Gynaecoclinical examination revealed the presence of a dead fetus which was in anterior presentation. The head and forelimbs were lying in the vaginal passage. Following epidural anesthesia with 2% Lignocaine
hydrochloride and lubrication of the birth canal a dead and malformed kid was taken out. On careful observation, it was found that the kid was showing multiple malformations like brachygnathia, arthrogryposis and Kyphosis
