An 8 years old Murrah buffalo in its 5^(th) party was presented with the history of 9 month of gestation and sudden bilateral abdominal distension since last 25 days.Animal was 7 anorectic with pale mucus membrane and had staggering gait.Per vaginum examination revealed closed cervix with intact cervical seal.By transrectal palpation only the fluid in the uterus could be palpable.Based on history and clinical examination findings,it was diagnosed as hydroallantois.Parturition was induced using cloprostenol and dexamethasone.Beside this an intracervical injection of closprostenol was also given on 6 o’clock and 12 o’clock position(250μg each)of external os to hasten the cervical dilation.A dead bulldog calf was removed with manual traction after 26 hours of initial treatment.It was concluded that the cloprostenol and dexamethasone are effective for the induction of parturition in animals suffering from hydroallantois provided fluid from the allantoic sac is removed slowly.
