Successful surgical intervention of atresia ani-etdistal recti with agenesis of vulva in a heifer calf is reported in this paper. The calf aging 1-day waspresented with a history of swelling at the perinealregion. In clinical examination, both vulval and analopenings were found absent. Initial surgicaloperation under sedation and local anesthesia wasdone to correct these abnormalities. As a result, thecalf could urinate, but attempted defecation was notsuccessful. Surgical operation was done again at theanal region to resolve this condition. Post-operatively,tetracycline spray was applied on both surgicalwounds immediately after surgery, and repeatedtwice daily for 10 days. Amoxicillin trihydrate (at 750mg/kg bwt) and Phenylbutazone (at 400 mg/kg bwt)were administered intramuscularly once, and thetreatment was repeated on every alternate day up to10 days of post-surgery. Finally, the calf was able tourinate and defecate normally, and the surgicalwounds healed uneventfully within 14 days.http://dx.doi.org/10.5455/javar.2015.b95
