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
This is good advice. It is important to keep that tissue moist. I was told
this by my vet. You can try to push it back in but it is best to let the vet
decide what will work. I have had them goe back in after having the vet give
me a cream for it but I have also had to have the tissue put back in and a
"purse string" sewed to keep it in.
