Lumps found in Roe Doe??

[martin 332]

Right then,here is photo of nine egg shape lumps that were found in an outwardly fit Roe Doe.The doe was pregnant with twins,so,do you think that they were ovarian cysts?Here are a couple of pictures for your perusal...........................

They were firm but not tough,the knife although very sharp did go through very easily.They tend to resemble a bollock ,and,they are in a vellum sac.....................

I'm sure someone on here must have seen the like before............................cheers.................Martin.

Being a vet, thought I must give my two pennies worth...

 

What you describe resembles the placenta of a pregnant doe, it would have enveloped each foetus to provide nutrition from the dam via those knobbly bits - aka caruncles

 

Follow the below link to see if the picture fits

 

Kind regards

Just for the record -The doe was shot on my land with martin as a guest.The gloves were worn as a matter of good practice by myself .Deer carry diseases that we humans can pick up .Lymes disease being one of them .Having studied the link kindly provided ,i have to agree as what they are but ive not seen the like before .

The only placenta ive seen has been the usual heavy veining .The lymph nodes were checked and were ok and im sure Martin has pics of these too .

Anyone else come across this? .
