A 5 years old Lakhimi cow was presented to the Out-Patient Unit of the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex of the College on 11th April, 2018 with the history of delivering a female calf, following which a red mass of tissues protruded out of the vulva. On clinical examination the uterus was found prolapsed and hanging from the vulva up to the level of the hock. After cleaning the prolapsed mass with a weak potassium permanganate solution (1:1000), was lubricated with 2 per cent methyl cellulose solution and replaced slowly under epidural anaesthesia (2% Lignocaine hydrochloride, Regain laboratories). Then the cow was infused with 450 ml calcium boro gluconate injection (Calborol, Novartis) intravenously, 15 ml Pheniramine maleate (Avilin, MSD) injection, 12 ml Tolfenamic acid (Maxxtol, Intas pharmaceuticals) injection and 1g Ceftiofur sodium (Tefrocef, MSD) injection intramuscularly (for 5 occassions). The cow came to heat within four months of treatment and was conceived on Artificial Insermination
