Postpartum Uterine Prolapse and its Therapeutic Management in a Buffalo

A eight year old buffalo was presented with history of a normal parturition. The uterine horn had prolapsed along with fetal membrane 6–8 hrs after parturition. The fetal membranes were detached manually with finger tips from maternal coruncles avoiding bleeding. The uterine mass was again washed with saline and finally with 1:1000 Potassium permanganate solution. Then it was replaced to its normal anatomical position. To prevent further complications, antibiotic treatment was started. After detaching fetal membranes, the prolapsed mass became lighter and less voluminous, so was easy to reposite.
