Hi guys I am wondering if anyone out there can help. I have a flat nose toy breed who is 8 weeks pregnant she is 5 years old and 2 years ago had her first and only litter  of 7 which was self whelped  without any problems. Anyway we decided to breed from her again to keep a pup and carry on her lines and she has been fine until a couple of days ago i noticed a small swelling from her vulva, I immediately took her to the vets who confirmed it was a prolapse and advised she should at least try to self whelp with them been on hand should there be any problems. I then went to another local vet who examined her to and confirmed it was in deed a prolapsed uterus and he advised to book an elective c section as pushing could cause it to prolapse more and cause more damage to the tissue. I am so confused what to do has anyone out there had this problem before any advice would be much appreciated.

I would want to contact a canine reproductive specialist.

Thanks for your post that was my immediate reaction on googling my local its 1hr 50mins away when contacting them they advised they would need to see my girl but she gets very anxious on small car journeys so its a no go area with her been heavily pregnant i would not want to stress her out any more.

I was thinking phone contact for advice on the situation, (as so few vets are expert on whelping only really knowing how to do C sections when things go wrong) they wouldn't' need to see her.

Will the specialist vet do a home visit?

When I rang them they were pretty blunt and said they could not advise on the situation unless they saw the bitch. I wonder if I ring back tomorrow and ask to speak with a actual vet I will get any further advice. To be honest I agree entirely with what you are saying non specialised vets as the 2 i saw and have used many times before gave completley conflicting information. The whole situation has me totally stressed out I just want whats best for my girl if anything happened to her I would never forgive myself.

I never thought to ask about a home visit thats a good thought and something i am definetly going to ask

If you have a camera on your phone take a photo or video clip as a record of any changes to see if it gets worse or better til you get her sorted out.
You could even try sending that to the vets and see what they say.

tell them you will pay for advice given by phone or email.

Clearly if you can get a specialist opinion this would be best although surely any qualified vet would be able to give you all the advice you need, with a first-hand examination of your bitch without the need to go for a specialist?

Personally I'd let her go into the early stages of labour, and then get her in for a C.Section.     Surely if she has a prolapse, that would only get worse during a delivery?   Happily this isn't one of the things I've had to deal with however.

I'd probably go for a scheduled c-section and spay at the same time.  That should be something your regular vet can do, so no trips to specialist vet needed, and you are probably going to want to spay her after this anyway to deal with the prolapse so why not have a c-section and then you can spay at the same time...

I don't think this can be a prolapsed uterus as the pregnancy would be at risk, if it's a small bobble of pink tissue is may mean that your girl is full of puppies and they are pressing on the birth canal and pushing a little bit out. If that is the case then as long as the tissue is clean and pink, if necessary you could put a little non-drying lubricant on it, then watch her very carefully and she will hopefully last the remaining few days.  If you spot anything more worrying then perhaps a slightly early c-section would be the way to go, good luck

I know absolutely nothing regarding how this  would present in a dog but equally could it be piles?. Sorry if that sounds ridiculous If the vets are so different in their diagnosis I would want specialist advice as Brainless suggested
