Dystocia or difficulty in parturition in a doe may need veterinary assistance for successful parturition. This is a case of dystocia in a 1-year-old primigravid West African Dwarf doe managed under free range. The dystocia was as a result of fetal mal-positioning in which the right forelimb was extended while the left was flexed. Feto-maternal disproportion also played a role in this case probably due to underdeveloped birth canal, as the doe was a primi. The dystocia was managed surgically, as all efforts to manage it conservatively proved futile. The doe made an uneventful recovery.

Abstract
Dystocia or difficulty in parturition in a doe may need veterinary assistance for successful parturition. This is a case of dystocia in a 1-year-old primigravid West African Dwarf doe managed under free range. The dystocia was as a result of fetal mal-positioning in which the right forelimb was extended while the left was flexed. Feto-maternal disproportion also played a role in this case probably due to underdeveloped birth canal, as the doe was a primi. The dystocia was managed surgically, as all efforts to manage it conservatively proved futile. The doe made an uneventful recovery.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
