Uterine Prolapse can be a real frustration for cattle, it occurs most commonly in heavily pregnant cows due to many reasons like- After caving, Calcium Phosphorus Deficiency, hormonal imbalance, etc. They are associated with increased pressure in the lower abdomen cavity. Uterine prolapse is an emergency, and the cow must be treated quickly. Treating and repositioning prolapsed regions is a high priority to prevent inflammation and infections.
A few days back we have received a report on our helpline about an abandoned dairy cow who had a large prolapse. She was rescued and transported to our hospital by Four Leg foundation Ahmedabad, where we named her “Gopi”.
Gopi’s prolapse was already inflamed so she was given the consecutive treatment of ice pack and sugar coat to reduce the swelling for three days, after that the prolapsed mass was pushed back inside. It sounds easy enough but it was a joint effort of 5 people.
Gopi’s prolapse has not recurred in the last 24 hours, but she is under constant supervision and is receiving a high dose of medication good diet, an anti-biotic to prevent further infection. “Gopi” is feeling much better now, very soon she will be released to her natural habitat.
Dear Friends, we need your prayers for Gopi’s good health. We are extremely proud to have you with us. Together we will surely be able to save many more lives like “Gopi” who are facing grave dangers due to human’s lack of knowledge, negligence, and selfishness.
