Subject: Re: Rectum prolapsing?

With regards to the prolapsing rectum situation, we had that
situation occur with an older one of our females. The vet
examined her poop and found giardia which had caused the
problem. Apparently many things can cause prolapsing and most
need a pursestring suture to return everything to its proper
place and medicine to kill the bugs. I am not a pro or
anything but I would definitely take your baby to the vet.

We brought our new 4 month old male to the vet last night
because it appeared that his rectum was prolapsing. It was
mainly on one side and started as just a pale pink lump,
later it got bigger and was very red. It is protruding less
than a centimeter. He was having difficulty eliminating and
was dragging his behind all over the livingroom. The vet
took rads and said she didn't think there was an
obstruction, and sent us home with a steroid cream. She
suggested using a cold compress and this cream to reduce the
swelling. It's worse this morning and oozing a little
seruminous blood. It's obviously painful for him and he had
more than the usual number of poops last night and they are
all really thin. This had a very sudden onset, within an
hour or two. The vet couldn't give us any explanation as to
what would cause this and I am worried there may be
something there that didn't show up on the rad. Has anyone
seen this before? Do you know what might bring something
like this on? His poops were normal before this happened,
and are normal in consistency now, just thin. Jen
