A two years old nondescript doe was brought to the Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology with complaint of anorexia, bleating, head pressing against the wall and circling movement for last 1 month. On palpation of the occipital bone between the two horns leads to bleating. Surgical removal of the coenurous cyst was done after blocking the operative site with 2% lignocaine hydrochloride. A cruciate incision was given to remove the cyst. The flaps were sutured by interrupted pattern with silk. A benzoin seal was then applied over the wound. Dextrose saline 5% (500 ml) was administered continuously into the jugular vein during operation. With post-operatively Inj. Intacef 500 mg, for 5 days and Inj. Meloxicam @ 0.5 mg/kg body weight for 3 days were administered. It was advised to keep the animal in a clean house and not to allow rubbing its head. Sutures were removed after 8 days. The animal recovered uneventfully.
