What to do in the event of a prolapse?

Prolapse of the rectum may occur in puppies and kittens, which may be congenital or due to severe forms of diarrhoea. At the level of the anal opening, it is possible to observe a stretch of intestinal mucosa, of varying length depending on the severity of the lesion, which protrudes outwards. In these cases, you should refrain from any intervention, but cover the part with a sterile gauze and contact your veterinarian immediately.
