title: [Non-recognition of a second fetus in a recumbent cow during veterinary obstetrical assistance (expert opinion)].
abstract: The objective of the expert opinion presented in this paper is the missing of a second fetus after veterinary obstetrical assistance in a downer cow. The necessity of a thorough examination after obstetrical manipulation is stressed with special reference to problems occurring in recumbent cows. In addition, possible complications after inappropriate removal of retained placental fetal membranes are discussed.
