Subject: Re: [ferrethealth] SWOLLEN RECTUM
Suzette, it sounds like her rectum is prolapsed. (there are other things it can be but I'm not familiar with them) I'm not a vet but if you can put some Vaseline or petroleum jelly on it and gently try to push it back in. If this is what it is it's similar to hemorrhoids in a human and if you have any Preparation H you can use a Little of that on it too. I would definitely take her in to your vet tomorrow but that might help in the meantime. Also look up Prolapsed rectum in the FH Archives, I'm sure there is lots of info there. Hope that helps. I'M NOT A VET. Have 10 yrs experience with ferts though.
Lynne and the brats
