Partial Vaginal prolapse cow - Necrosis

RIGHT SIDED BELLY OEDEMA COW

A cow reported to be off feed was tentatively diagnosed as impaction of the forestomachs and treated accordingly. It devoloped appettite by about eigth day but developed severe oedema of the under belly extending from udder to brisket on the right side of the median line. Conjunctival oedema was also noted in both the eyes. On rectal palpation posterior to the right Kidney hard swelligs could be palpated which could be moved about. The right mid flank region had a swelling visible externally which was painful on palpation. I suspectede an obstruction to the Venous/ Lymphatic drainage of the area. Still not sure.

Start of my career.

I am a post graduate in Veterinary Surgery . I did my undergraduate studies at College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy, Trichur, Kerala, India.Post graduated from the Madras Veterinary College,Chennai, Tamilnadu. I passed out with a Gold medal for the highest marks in Veterinary Surgery. I was inspired to take up Surgery as my specialisation after seeing the works of my professors Late Dr. P.O. George. Dr. Muraleedharan Nair, Dr.Ravindran Nair, Dr. Rajan Kuty, Dr. Sarada Amma Etc. I still remember I used to swoon whenever I witnessed an operation being performed. It was Dr. Rajan kutty, who instilled confidence in me that I could overcome it and perform surgery. I owe my sincere thanks to Rajan kutty sir, My teachers of surgery at COVAS, Mannuthy and my teachers of Veterinary Surgery at MVC, Chennai. My special gratitude to my Post graduate Guide and Chairman Prof.Dr. Thilagar, M.V.Sc., PhD. for having brought out the best in me , encouraging me to work hard, inspire and guide me during difficult times.My wife Dr. R. Chitra is also a post graduate in Veterinary Surgery and is my partner in all surgeries I perform. She instills confidence in me while I perform surgery and always helps me out in difficult surgeries with creative ideas and suggestions.
