Pseudopregnancy in dairy goats - a case study

The aim of this study was to determine the presence of hydrometra or pseudopregnancy in 38 dairy goats raised under intensive system. The diagnosis was done using transabdominal ultrasonography at 45 days of natural service. The affected goats were diagnosed as positive when the uterus presented a visible accumulation of fluid and presence of trabeculae in the image. The incidence of a hydrometra was of 5.3%. Both affected animals were successfully treated with commercial prostaglandin (PGF2α), and estruses occurred 4 days after the treatment. One goat got pregnant while the hydrometra recurred in the other goat.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la presencia de hidrometra o pseudopreñez en 38 cabras lecheras criadas bajo un régimen de explotación intensiva. El diagnóstico se realizó mediante ultrasonografía transabdominal a los 45 días del servicio por monta natural. Se consideró una cabra pseudogestante cuando se observó una imagen anecogénica, con la sola presencia de fluido y trabéculas de paredes finas. La incidencia de la hidrometra fue de 5.3%. Los animales afectados fueron tratados con prostaglandina comercial (PGF2α), corrigiéndose la anomalía y presentando celo dentro de los 4 días del tratamiento. Una cabra quedó gestante y la otra volvió a presentar la hidrometra.
