Online Published on 16 September, 2024. Abstract A doe in her second parity was presented with dystocia. The doe was calm, alert, responsive and voided a small quantity of blood through vulva. But, thereafter no signs of delivery was seen since last three hours. Abdominal palpation revealed that doe was pregnant and carrying fetuses. Case was diagnosed as dystocia due to primary uterine inertia and accordingly treatment was given which consisted of subcutaneous administration of Calcium gluconate followed by intra muscular injection of Oxytocin. Five fetuses were delivered, out of which four were live and one was dead. Placenta was sheded off normally after expulsion of each fetus. The doe recovered fully thereafter.
