Abstract
Two cases of uterine prolapse in dromedary camels in a herd with concomitan t cases of white muscle disease are described. Serum selenium and glutathio ne peroxidase in whole blood were investigated in both patients and showed statistical difference compared with a control group. Results suggest that selenium deficiency could promote uterine prolapse in dromedary camels.
