Hydrallantois is a substantial agglomeration of fluid in the allantioc sac. It accounts for about 85-90% of the dropsical condition, which shows detrimental effect on bovine foetus and its membrane. Hydrallantois or hydropsy allantois is a sporadic pregnancy disorder reported in dairy animals. It is defined as severe and extensive edema of the fetal membrane, and incidence is noticed mainly in cattle, but sparsely spotted in sheep, pigs and carnivores. A case of such hydrallantois was presented with rounded abdominal distension for the past 5 days, for which the pregnancy termination was advocated using hormones, corticosteroids and fluid therapy. Furthermore, a complete recovery of the cow was noticed without any untoward consequences.
