my 16 week old bulldog bitch, bonnie has just had a prolapse anal. and been operated on. apparantely her bowel had actually come out of her bum and theyve put it back in and stitched it up, they are now seeing if her bowel is DEAD OR ALIVE and hopefully is all ok. has anybody come across this horrible problem and if so what was the outcome and did it re occur as my vet has said will probably happen again. HELLLLLP !!!

Initial treatment of prolapse involves treating any underlying disease that directly or indirectly causes the bowel to protrude through the anal canal. A veterinarian may reduce minor, limited prolapses conservatively with manipulation. Recurrent cases may require surgical placement of a temporary suture to prevent recurrence. In severe cases, the prolapsed bowel segment may be strangulated and ischemic (lacking in adequate circulation) or necrotic (dead tissue). These cases will require surgical removal of the necrotic parts and reconstruction of the remaining bowel.

I would be having a word with this puppies breeder being as shes so young, it could be an underlying medical problem thats caused this, or a very severe case of diarhoeaa.

thankyou for your advice.Bonnie is back home from the vets now and thankfully her bowel seems to be fine just alittle swollen and sore.Hopefully this problem will not re occur.
Once again thankyou for taking the time to help
