An intravaginal thermometer was inserted into a 59-month-old Japanese black cow to predict calving. After calving, the thermometer penetrated the vaginal wall and could not be removed by farm staff. Surgery to remove the thermometer was successful. The cow left the animal hospital without hospitalization. In the follow-up, the cow remained healthy on the farm for more than one year and is now pregnant. No symptoms related to damage to the vagina or infection developed. This is the first case report of a vaginal laceration caused by an intravaginal thermometer in a Japanese black cow. Insertional vaginal devices may cause vaginal lacerations in cattle.
将阴道温度计插入一只 59 月龄的日本黑母牛以预测分娩。分娩后，温度计穿透阴道壁，农场工作人员无法将其取出。通过手术成功取出温度计。这头母牛离开动物医院后无需住院。在后续随访中，这头母牛在农场健康状况良好，已超过 1 年，目前再次怀孕。未出现与阴道损伤或感染相关的症状。这是首例日本黑母牛因阴道温度计导致阴道撕裂的病例报告。阴道内插入装置可能导致牛的阴道撕裂。
