Abstract

Prolapse of the right nongravid horn of the uterus in a cow with a 7 1 2 - mo pregnancy is reported. The condition occurred 4 d after a vagino-cervical prolapse was reduced and fixed by Minchev's technique. The everted uterine horn together with its corresponding ovary became gangrenous and detached due to eschemic necrosis resulting from the constriction of the partially closed cervix. The cow delivered a healthy bull calf without any complications 6 wk after the incidence. Rectal examination of the cow 3 mo later showed completion of involution, uterus unicornis with its left ovary and a mature corpus luteum. The absence of the right ovary and the right uterine horn did not seem to interfere with the normal estrous cycle.
