Abstract: A 4 year old doe weighing about 35 kgs was presented at the outdoor clinic of Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Navania Udaipur for the treatment of udder swelling. Anamnesis revealed that the doe was pregnant and this swelling had developed two days before. The owner had treated the doe with some traditional medicine but no improvement was seen. Clinical examination revealed a normal rectal temperature, respiration rates and feeding and watering. A watery fluid was aspirated from the udder, showing the presence of edema. Udder edema was diagnosed by observation, palpating, pitting appearance of udder tissue and the aspirated watery fluid. Inj. Frusemide @3 mg/kg bw was injected intramuscularly. Inj. Frusemide was repeated for 3 days. Besides, B-complex along with liver extract 2 ml i/m, an antihistaminic (Chlorpheniramine maleate) 2 ml i/m were also given.
