A full-term crossbred Jersey heifer was presented with dystocia due to inadequate vulvar relaxation. Initial attempts at fetal delivery by forced traction were unsuccessful. Therefore, episiotomy was performed under epidural anaesthesia using bilateral dorso-lateral incisions at the 11 and 2 o’clock positions, which facilitated successful per-vaginal delivery of a live female calf. Post-operative supportive therapy resulted in an uneventful recovery of the animal. This case highlights episiotomy as a safe and effective emergency obstetrical procedure for the management of inadequate vulvar relaxation-induced dystocia in heifers.
