Premature separation of the placenta in an asinine female (Equus asinus) and Neonatal Maladjustment Syndrome: a case report¤. Ces. Med. Vet. Zootec. [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.1, pp.116-123. ISSN 1900-9607.

An Equus asinus female in advanced gestation state was atended in the field, and by clinical examination manifested signs of discomfort, lateral trunk movements, postration, turning, dyspnea, rythmic abdominal movements, edematous vulva and serosanguinous secretion. The animal initiated labor, evidencing "red bag" (premature chorioallantoic separation), and obstetric manuevers were required to allow the birth of the foal, who presented signs of immaturity such as: fallen ears, soft hoves, absence of sucking reflex, postration and hypothermia. Premature separation of the placenta is diagnosed and neonatal maladjustment syndrome in the foal. The presentation of placenta previa and the onset of labor, has a direct relation with the posible neonatal maladjustment syndrome. The present case is described due to the low frequency of presentation in the Equus asinus species, in creole donkeys and as the first case described in this species in Colombia.
