Ultrasonographic Diagnosis and Management of Perineal Hernia in Pregnant Jamunapari Doe- A Case Report

A two years old Jamunapari cross-breed doe was brought and registered at Shahedul Alam Quaderi Teaching Veterinary Hospital (SAQTVH) with a history of natural mating of five months. The owners have been complaining of a progressively increasing swelling in the perineal region for the past three months. A swelling at the perineal region that extended caudally to the animal's back was seen during a clinical examination of the patient. Ultrasonography scanning was done to confirm the gravid uterus in the gradually swelling perennial area, assess the gestational age and fetal condition. Hematological screening was done to measure the profiles of different blood parameters. Hormonal therapy (prostaglandin) & dexamethasone along with supplements of vitamins and minerals were given to the animal on that day. Three live fetuses were born after 15 hours of treatment. The planned surgical treatment of the hernia’s hole could not be carried out in the perineal area because the patient's owner refused to consent to this surgical technique.
