Abstract: A three years old primiparous full term pregnant non-descript doe was brought with the history of restlessness, inappetence, serosanguinous vaginal discharge and intermittent straining for the past 24 hours. Per-vaginal examination revealed that the cervix was fully dilated and hard mass of fetus with empty orbit was palpated in the birth canal. Thus, the case was diagnosed as fetal mummification. Following removal of mummified fetus, another two mummified fetuses were removed by manual traction. The three mummified fetuses were at different stages of development. After removal of the fetuses, the doe was treated with antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, oral ecbolics and supportive therapy for five days. The animal had an uneventful recovery.
