A five years old, Ongole cow with prolonged gestation was presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Gannavaram. Per rectal examination revealed the hard mummified condition of the fetus without any fetal fluids. Laporo hysterotomy was conducted under the sedation with Triflupromazine hydrochloride (Inj. Siquil) and local anesthesia (Inj. xylocaine 2%) to remove the fetus. A fully developed mummified fetus which was soft and surrounded by viscous bloody and chocolate coloured material was removed. Hysterotomy opening and laporotomy opening were closed by standard methods. The animal had uneventful recovery.
