Two local adult goats were presented with lameness due to a soft tissue, easily bleeding growth over the medial digit of the right forelimb. Radiography did not reveal any bony involvement. The growths were meticulously resected and diagnosed histopathologically as melanomas. Recurrence was noticed two months later in one of these cases., U dvije koze ustanovljena je hromost zbog promjena u mekom tkivu i izrasline s obilnim krvarenjem u području unutarnjeg papka prednje desne noge. Radiografski nisu bile ustanovljene promjene na kostima. Izrasline su bile pažljivo uklonjene te je patohistološki utvrđen melanom. U jedne koze melanom se ponovo javio dva mjeseca nakon odstranjivanja.

Eighty-six cows presented for treatment of genital prolapse (uterine - 44 and vaginal - 42) were included in this study. Vaginal prolapse mostly occurred during advanced pregnancy and uterine prolapse following parturition. At the time of examination, most of the animals with uterine prolapse were recumbent, while those with vaginal prolapse were standing. The highest prevalence of genital prolapse was recorded in crossbred Jersey cows around the 2nd parturition during the autumn season. The number of cases with grade 1 vaginal prolapse was highest (52.38%) followed by grade 3 (33.33%) and grade 2 (14.29%) respectively. Grade 1 vaginal prolapse could be managed successfully by exogenous progesterone therapy (500 mg hydroxyprogesterone i.m. two times at weekly interval) along with hind quarter elevation in 45.45% cases (10/22); however, in the remaining 54.55% cases the prolapse was converted to grade 2. A few (27%) animals with uterine prolapse were simultaneously suffering from milk fever, dystocia and retained fetal membranes. In all the cows with grade 2 and 3 vaginal prolapse, and also those with uterine prolapse, the mass was repositioned following the standard technique under caudal epidural analgesia. A modified Bühner’s technique, using sterile infusion set tubing as suture material, was effective in retention of the mass in all the cows. Complications and disfigurement of the vulvar area were not noticed, even in cases where the suture was kept in-situ for a prolonged period., U istraživanje je bilo uključeno 86 krava: 44 s izvalom maternice, a 42 s izvalom rodnice. Izvala rodnice pretežno se javljala u visokom stupnju bređosti, a maternice nakon telenja. Za vrijeme pretrage većina krava s izvalom maternice je ležala, dok su one s izvalom rodnice stajale. Izvala spolnih organa najčešće je ustanovljena u križanih Jersey krava prilikom drugoga telenja i to u jesen. Broj slučajeva prvog stupnja izvale rodnice bio je najveći (52,38%). Slijedi broj izvala trećeg stupnja (33,33%) te drugog stupnja (14,29%). Prvi stupanj izvale rodnice bio je uspješno izliječen u 45,45% slučajeva (10/22) davanjem 500 mg hidroksiprogesterona intramuskularno dvaput tjedno uz podizanje stražnjeg dijela tijela. U ostalih 54,55% slučajeva izvala je prešla u drugi stupanj. U manjeg broja (27%) životinja s izvalom maternice bila je ustanovljena mliječna vrućica, težak porođaj i zaostajanje posteljice. U svih krava s drugim i trećim stupnjem izvale rodnice i onih s izvalom maternice, organi su bili vraćeni u normalan položaj standardnim postupkom uz kaudalnu epiduralnu anesteziju. Preinačen Bühnerov postupak upotrebom sterilne infuzijske cjevčice kao šivaćeg materijala pokazao se učinkovitim u liječenju svih krava. Komplikacije i promjene oblika stidnice nisu primijećene čak ni u slučajevima kad je šav duže vrijeme ostao in situ.
