Prolapse???

[CochinBrahmaLover=)]

Okay, please, I don't mind if you smile or maybe a slight giggle, but please don't laugh.

So someone tried to explain to me what a rectual prolapse is. I understood mostly except one thing was very confusing.. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS A PROLAPSE???

Just a slight chuckle from me. As to a rectal prolapse---It is when the muscles that hold in the large intestine (colon) are damaged or torn, and the large intestine begins to protrude from the anus. When this happens, the animal strains a lot, and more and more of his intestine comes out. This often continues till the animal has evacuated most of his intestines, and it's beyond the point of saving them. Hope this helps.

There is also a vaginal prolapse, were the lining of the birth canal and/or the entire uterus can come out.
