Animal was presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex (TVCC), Durg with a history of complete gestation and forehead protruding through vulva but, no further progress in labour for the last 12 h, and a failed attempts at manual fetal extraction by the owner. Per vaginal examination revealed, fetus to be in anterior longitudinal presentation, bilateral shoulder flexion posture and dorso- sacral position. The diagnosis was dystocia due to fetal disposition. The case was long standing with swollen forehead, hence fetotomy was performed and head was severed by a stab incision.
