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.
