A buffalo with history of fighting among fellow animals was presented with dysphagia, profuse salivation and bleeding from mouth. Clinical examination revealed extensive tongue lacerations. The oral cavity was cleaned thoroughly and lacerations were sutured. Another case of severe tongue laceration in a newborn Jersey calf due to faulty snare application to relieve dystocia was treated successfully by suturing. Both animals recovered uneventfully.
