The case presents an eight-year-old pregnant Murrah crossbred buffalo with hydrallantois and an epitheliogenesis imperfecta foetal monster.Initial symptoms included bilateral abdominal distension, inappetence, and respiratory distress.Treatment included extensive fluid therapy, cervical dilation, and drainage of 75-80 liters of allantoic fluid.Electrolyte analysis revealed deviations compared to maternal plasma.Manual extraction of the non-viable fetus was done.Postpartum treatment included antibiotics, calcium administration, and recovery within 5 days.Hydrallantois arises from placental irregularities and disrupts sodium metabolism, requiring cautious management to avoid fatal complications during pregnancy termination.
