Abstract
AbstractDystocia or difficulty in parturition in a doe may need veterinary assistance for successful parturition. This is a case of dystocia in a 1‐year‐old primigravid West African Dwarf doe managed under free range. The dystocia was as a result of fetal mal‐positioning in which the right forelimb was extended while the left was flexed. Feto‐maternal disproportion also played a role in this case probably due to underdeveloped birth canal, as the doe was a primi. The dystocia was managed surgically, as all efforts to manage it conservatively proved futile. The doe made an uneventful recovery.
