A case report of Schistosomus Reflexus in a Lamb
Abstract
An adult Dorper ewe was presented to the Large
Animal Clinic with dystocia. Reddish masses were
seen hanging from the vulva of the ewe. Vaginal
examination revealed a deformed fetus in the pelvic
cavity that left insufficient room for fetal manipulation.
A tentative diagnosis of dystocia due to fetal deformity
was made. The dystocia was relieved by cesarean
section and a case of true schistosomus reflexus in a
lamb was confirmed from physical examination of the
defective fetus.
