Sažetak

Eighty-six cows presented for treatment of genital prolapse (uterine - 44 and vaginal - 42) were included in this study. Vaginal prolapse mostly occurred during advanced pregnancy and uterine prolapse following parturition. At the time of examination, most of the animals with uterine prolapse were recumbent, while those with vaginal prolapse were standing. The highest prevalence of genital prolapse was recorded in crossbred Jersey cows around the 2nd parturition during the autumn season. The number of cases with grade 1 vaginal prolapse was highest (52.38%) followed by grade 3 (33.33%) and grade 2 (14.29%) respectively. Grade 1 vaginal prolapse could be managed successfully by exogenous progesterone therapy (500 mg hydroxyprogesterone i.m. two times at weekly interval) along with hind quarter elevation in 45.45% cases (10/22); however, in the remaining 54.55% cases the prolapse was converted to grade 2. A few (27%) animals with uterine prolapse were simultaneously suffering from milk fever, dystocia and retained fetal membranes. In all the cows with grade 2 and 3 vaginal prolapse, and also those with uterine prolapse, the mass was repositioned following the standard technique under caudal epidural analgesia. A modified Bühner’s technique, using sterile infusion set tubing as suture material, was effective in retention of the mass in all the cows. Complications and disfigurement of the vulvar area were not noticed, even in cases where the suture was kept in-situ for a prolonged period.
