Hydrops in a heifer as a result of in-vitro fertilization.
A 2-year-old Holstein heifer was presented at 7 months gestation with a 2-day history of premature mammary enlargement. It was suspected that the dam was showing clinical symptoms of a pending abortion. Through diagnostic testing and postmortem examination, a final diagnosis of hydrops allantois and amnion was determined.
