Foetal anasarca is a rare clinical condition characterized by excessive accumulation of fluid in the subcutaneous tissue of foetus, resulting in dystocia. The present case details the successful retrieval of anasarca’s foetus along with live foetus through an obstetrical intervention. A 3 year old pregnant doe of 2nd parity was presented to Veterinary Clinical Complex (VCC) Rajendranagar with the history of dystocia. Kidding was initiated 12 hours back with the rupture of water bag, animal was in recumbent position. On clinical examination mucous membrane of dam were pale with pyrexia (104.5°F) and sunken eyes. Per vaginal examination revealed a foetus in posterior longitudinal presentation, breech, which on palpation appeared oedematous with a distended abdomen. The doe was stabilised using fluid therapy prior to obstetrical intervention. The doe was obstetrically managed by traction of foetus ensuring lubrication. After the adjustment of extremities through forced extraction two foetus were relieved of which one was anasarca foetus. The uterus was administered with warm normal saline, intrauterine bolus and tocolytics were also administered Intramuscularly. A course of Antibiotics and Anti-inflammatory drugs were advised along with the fluid therapy. The animal recovered successfully with normal vitals along with the live foetus.
