Prolapse

[Officially Retired]

Little tip to add. Putting sugar on the prolapse and gently squeezing it will pull fluid from it through osmosis. Squeeze gently. U will see the excess fluid absorb into a paper towel. This can decrease the swelling and cause the swollen tissue to recede faster. Do it once or twice a day and keep moist (I use aquaphor). You may need a cone. We had a bitch chew a hole in her uterus have it such back in and she started to bleed out. Bummer.

Yeah, the Old Man who's property a rented in Tenessee also had a bitch eat part of her swollen vulva off when she had her first prolapse (because it can "itch") ... but I got the bleeding stopped and put an Elizabethan collar on her ... and she was okay after that.

My question is how will the bitch give birth if she's bred while prolapsed? I have a gyp that's prolapsed(1st heat) but was told to breed her next heat but I still wonder bout it. Any response will be appreciated.

i had my housedog go through this on her first heat. 1st heat scared me as i didnt know what it was at the time. 2nd heat it came back, but like jack aid "less severe"... 3rd heat, i didnt notice the issue from there on after that.

Thank you buddy, this the first gyp I've had do this it had me worried. I had a real good vet but he passed away the other couple around here would've attempted to spay her and I want that to be the last option. Hers isn't bad and it helps that she doesn't bother it

Most of mine that had it bad, had it on 2-4. A couple had it out for 6 months+. One finally went down, and the dog didn't have a heat cycle for years. She was in really bad shape from it, just couldn't piss or shit. The other would never go back and I ran out of patience. This dogs sister had a bad one and ate it off, which worked I guess, because it never popped out again.
Their momma had it bad on #2. I had some silly opinions about this dog, got drunk and bred her. Within days the swelling went down. She was less than 2, I took her squirliness as style, but I'm glad I did it. No issue since, just needed to breed her off the yard but oh well on that.
If its not bad I'd just give the sugar treatment jmo

How did it go MISTER? Was she bred?
We had a female who threw this problem to some of her offsprings.

I have not experienced this much with the bulldogs but when we had Fila Brasileiros (Brazillian Mastiffs) it is a lot more prevalent. Another issue with big dogs. We had one female on her first heat looked like she was giving birth about a week into cycle.

I never uses sugar but did use paper towels and gently massage the area. Two fold response, there will be some fluid loss on to the towel and your female will really, really like you, LOL. The big dogs gets the big collars as well because even if they do not bite it they sometimes will lick it til raw.

This particular female had it on the first couple of heats but by the end she had not exactly normal but much better heats/swelling. By the time she was three it was just slightly enlarged and she threw 11 pups. At four she threw 10. No issues.

I would not spay a bitch early on for this as time can fix a lot.
