Abstract: A four year old pluriparous goat was presented with the history of not showing kidding signs even after completion of term, except udder development and milk secretion. On abdominal palpation no fetus was palpable, however fluid filled uterus was palpated. Trans-abdominal ultrasonographic examination revealed extensively distended anechoic fluid filled uterus without detectable placentomes and fetal parts. Based on the date of mating history, absence of kidding signs, gynaeco-clinical examination and trans-abdominal ultrasonography the case was diagnosed as hydrometra. The doe was administered with cloprostenol sodium intramuscularly. Doe was responded to the treatment and showed cloudy vaginal discharge. It became cyclic within a month after treatment. Doe was allowed for mating and scanning 45 days of post-mating found positive for pregnancy with twins.
