Abstract

A six-year-old local breed cow from Hadiya Zone w/mazoria kebele was presented to the Shone veterinary clinic. On February 3, 2022, with a history of uterine prolapse through the vulva since five hours after parturition, she delivered a male calf. The main clinical signs were that the cow was weak and recumbent, with hindquarters lower than forequarters, and the uterus was prolapsed from the vulva with the attached placenta. Physiological parameters body temperature 39.50 C, heart rate 80 bpm, and respiratory rate 20 breaths per minute were within the normal range. The prolapsed mass was larger and longer. Based on the history and clinical evaluation, there is no serious trauma or damage to the uterus. A good prognosis was made, and the animal was advised to be treated or corrected. Uterine prolapse is an emergency that should be reported as soon as possible in order to have a good prognosis for the animal.
