Thank you. I will try to read it at lunch.

Have you considered using a prolapse harness on her? I have never used one so I can't give you any advice about it.

I think she is too bad to use a prolapse harness, will see what the vet thinks, but I know he mentioned sewing her up, and asked if we know the due date.

I have a bred date of sept 25th, so that would put her at feb 22nd. Although in my notes I have written, that she may have been bred again 3 weeks after that, but it was just because she looked like she had scrappings on her sides from the buck, and it is possible they could have been there from the previous breeding.

oh, and yes, if she survives this, she will be culled.

Agree w/ culling. If she prolapsed last year and it is worse this year then next year will be a nightmare.


I hope she pulls through enough that you are able to salvage the kids. W/ our prolapsed pig we found a mix of hemorrhoid cream and aloe to be pretty effective in reducing the tissue inflammation.

That would work a lil bit, aloe is a natural lubricant. Only if you have fresh aloe the bottle aloe is drying. I wished I lived closer I have 3 huge aloe plants here. Keep us posted with whet the vet says. Good Luck.

I was reading about hemorrhoid cream, but I am thinking a vaginal prolapse is different than a rectal problapse, It looks like she has no muscle tone left to hold the babies in and the cervix is inverting. However, it may help to reduce swelling and get it back in. Thing is, you would think if she had that much pressure on her cervix, she would be huge and she isn't really that big, atleast not compared to some of my other does. and she has been getting lots of exercise, since I just took them to the barn this week, of course it has started getting worse since she has been laying around in the barn more and getting less exercise, but I am sure it would have been just a few days one way or the other before it would have gotten bad, in the barn or not.

Yeah vaginal and rectal prolapse are slightly different. The pig got her rectal prolapse only when she lay down though so it was still a muscle control issue. Eventually after pushing it in enough times she developed enough adhesions to hold it in. It took going out every 2-3 hours to goop her up and push it back in and hold it there until it wasn't coming out again when you removed your finger. FUN!!


Stitches may well work to keep her together enough to get to delivery. Also something like compression panties may help. If you do a google image search for prolapse V brace. you may be able to rig up something that will help give her a little more pelvic floor support.

Maybe Bose?

Had a bo-se shot couple weeks ago when we did CD&T and trimmed feet.

I know someone we can call that has lots of lambs, he may have some prolapse harnesses or equipment to lend us if the vet thinks it will help.

Off subject, but did you know I worked for several years on large hog farms, very large, as in 1,000 sows, we farrowed out 40 sows a week and weaned 400 piglets a week.

My husband worked on a farm that had 5,000 sows, that is a really big farm.
