Prolapsed Rectum

This is a condition where part of the rectal tissue has been forced out of the anus. It is caused by pressure on the inner layers of the rectum through the anus. There are several root causes for this including but not limited to: persistent cough, constipation, urinary infections, parasites, diarrhea, birth, and any type of straining. Symptoms will be obviously visual in the area of the anus. It will appear as a reddish tissue mass protruding from the anus. Veterinary treatment is mandatory. With proper veterinary care, the damaged tissue can be repaired or removed. Your veterinarian may recommend follow-up treatment.
