What are the treatment methods for abnormal fetal position in deer?

With the development of the @#@253@#@ industry, diseases brought about by the feeding management and reproduction of breeding does have also increased accordingly, especially in the late stage of pregnancy, when unfavorable factors such as feeding management lead to poor fetal development, frequently resulting in abnormal fetal position, stillbirth, premature birth and other phenomena.

During my work in the diagnosis and treatment of deer diseases, I encountered a case of abnormal fetal position before the onset of labor. This doe showed signs of impending labor, and because it was her first pregnancy, the observation during fawning was especially careful. After the doe's water broke at 11 a.m., no fawn was born after about 4 and a half hours. At this point the doe showed abnormal reactions, sweating all over and panting heavily. Based on past experience, it was judged that dystocia was occurring, and after discussion with the owner, a cesarean section was decided upon to deliver the fawn.

After opening the uterus, it was found that the fawn's dorsal side was facing forward, and the entire fetus had rotated 45 degrees within the uterus. After 65 min of surgery, the fawn was delivered normally and the doe was safe and sound. After surgery, care for the doe was strengthened, feed was added to increase nutrition, and 4 million units of penicillin were injected twice daily; the sutures were removed from the doe after 7 d. According to observation, after the cesarean delivery both the doe and the fawn returned to normal.

Recommendations: Feeding management for does should be strengthened; pregnant does should have a spacious exercise yard to ensure adequate exercise during pregnancy and prevent abnormal fetal position. At the same time, the nutritional content of the feed should be increased, and the supply of trace elements should be sufficient; first-time does should be carefully tended before labor, and if abnormal reactions appear, a veterinarian should be sought promptly for treatment, so as to avoid stillbirth or the death of both mother and fawn, which would cause greater economic losses.
