This report describes the successful management of a right-sided post-cervical uterine torsion in a 4-year-old Osmanabadi goat using the modified Schaffer’s (Plank-on-Flank) technique. After one rotation, the cervix became palpable, and a live kid was delivered per vaginally. The doe was recovered uneventfully within three days following post-delivery treatment.
