| Abstract | ||||
| ABSTRACT Eighteen small ruminants presented for the treatment of genital prolapse (uterine, 6 and vaginal, 12) were included in this study. Vaginal prolapses were predominantly observed during gestation (usually advanced stage) and uterine prolapses were following parturition. Highest prevalence of genital prolapse was recorded in goats within their 1st and 3rd parity in winter months. First grade vaginal prolapse could be controlled effectively by exogenous progesterone therapy (@250 mg hydroxyprogesterone i.m. twice a week) with hind quarter elevation of the affected animals. However, Modified Buhner’s suture resulted in persistent retention of the prolapsed parts without causing disfigurement of the vulvar lips in animals suffering from 2nd and 3rd grade vaginal and from uterine prolapse. | ||||
