Abstract:
Hydrallantois was detected in a pregnant ewe by physical examination and ultrasonographic evaluation. Clinical signs of disease included acute progressive bilateral abdominal distention, anorexia, and recumbency. Right-flank celiotomy and cesarean section were used to alleviate the condition. Post-operatively, in addition to supportive treatment, oxytocin and fenprostalene (a long-acting prostaglandin) were administered to decrease the likelihood or severity of hydrallantoic sequelae.
