Dystocia due to fetal ascites has been documented in indigenous cow (Pandit and Singh, 1990), crossbred cow (Honparkhe et al., 2003) and buffalo (Chaudhary et al., 1996). Atresia of abdominal organs in cattle and mare is also not uncommon (Roberts, 1971). The present report describes a rare case of dystocia due to an ascitic buffalo fetus having atresia of the large intestine and rectal eversion.
