Özet
A case of prepubic tendon rupture in a Romanov ewe in which four live lambs were delivered by Cesarean section is presented. A three-year-old ewe, on the 142 +/- 3 days of the second gestation was brought to the Siirt University Animal Health Application and Research Center with sudden downward distension of the abdomen during the last one day. When the ewe was examined, reduced movement or hesitancy to move, mild depression, tachycardia, tachypnea and peculiar abdominal enlargement on the left side more than the right side were observed. As this case was detected early the general condition was not so bad and clinical examination revealed that swelling was non-painful and non-edematous. Ultrasonography was performed to detect the viability of the fetuses, and to eliminate the possibility of a hernia of the abdominal muscles. Based on anamnesis, abdominal palpation, and clinical examination, this case led to the diagnosis of prepubic tendon rupture. The prognosis of saving the lives of ewe and fetuses depends on successfully handling all aspects of the case in the last period of pregnancy. Although it is not possible to repair the abdominal integrity surgically in cases of prepubic tendon rupture in the ewe, a planned cesarean operation has led to an increase the survival rates of both ewe and lambs.
