quarter

42

A

half dollar

43
Q

non cardinal sings of pregnancy

A
  • uterine fluid
  • middle uterine artery fremitus
  • elevated serum progesterone
  • ballotement of fetus through flank
44
Q

at what period can eustrus occur in pregnancy

A
  • at 5 months
  • if bred AI will abort pregnancy
45
Q

what are the problems associated with twins in cows

A
  • freemartin
  • abortion
  • retained placenta
  • metritis
  • less viable calf
46
Q

when does mummification mostly to occur

A
  • mostly after 5-6 mnths
  • there is retained corpus luteum
47
Q

what are the common causes of mummification

A
  • BVD
  • neospora
48
Q

how do you trat a cow with mummification

A

treat with PGF2alpha

49
Q

what causes hydrops allontois

A
  • result of placental abnormality
  • occurs rapidly due to Na pump abnormality
  • poor prognosis for cow and fetus
50
Q

discuss hydrops amnii

A
  • fetal abnormality esp. of the head
  • occurs slowly -fetus anable to control amnotic fluid
  • good prognosis for cow
51
Q

causes of prolapsed vagina

A
  • Inherited predisposition
  • Poor perineal conformation
  • ↑estrogen level leads to relaxation of pelvic ligaments
  • ↑ abdominal pressure
  • ↑ irritation due to drying and frost bite
