Online published on 6 April, 2015. Abstract A 6 year old crossbreed cow affected with dystocia due to uterine torsion at full term along with cervico-vaginal prolapse and inability to stand was presented for treatment. The cow was pre-treated, leading to uterine adhesion, so it was decided to perform caesarean section and manage dystocia and save fetal life. A male live foetus was removed after caesarean operation and uterus was detorted. To manage cervico-vaginal prolapse, the prolapsed mass was washed with potassium permanganate and pushed inside. Lignocaine jelly and Soframycin ointment were applied locally for five days. The dam started standing from fifth day of treatment and recovered uneventfully.
