I have spoken to a vet and i have told them that we have now decided to have my daughters dog sorted,as she has got a prolapsed womb.The vet said that we have to wait one to two months before she can have it done,due to it is out of her bits again.She is running around quite happy with her prolapse and is just as silly as usual,looking at the front of her she looks normal,but when she turns round it looks like a balloon at the back.She is not in any pain at all and she is still soo soppy.

The last time this happened to her we were shown how to ease it back in and to be honest with you it did not go in until her season had finished,they were wishing that it would not happen again,however it has again,so now she will be spayed,but we have to wait until the season is totally over.

hi jugsjugs wow a prolapsed womb, I had never thought about that for
a dog. When I had a prolapsed womb I was told I needed to have a hysterectomy as elective surgery because If I had gotten pregnant
I would not have been able to carry a babyto full term as the danger was in r upturing it and bleeding profusely andd having to have emergency surgery. So your daughter's doggie cannot chance having puppies . I take it sorted means spaying the dog? I am glad she seems without pain as I was not that fortunate. and it wAs so disappointing as we had wanted three children and life was weird as we lost our little girl at age 8 and had I been able to have one more child it might have eased that pain a bit. b ut any way The dog sounds like a happy go lucky sort. good luck
and God bless.

I had to have a hysterectomy aswell,as i had the same problem.I was in agony when i had a problem like the dog has,thankfully she is not in no pain.I can not wait until she is spayed as this will sort the problem once and for all.It is having to wait now for one to two months,as it is safer for them to operate on her when she is totally out of season.I am sorry about your loss Hatley.

This must be a condition that is of constant concern to you, I would be worried abut infection or some other damage to her. I have only seen this condition in our large animals and with them the Vet usually puts the womb back in and I think they may stich it for awhile until it stays put. It's been a long time since we had to treat on and I can't remember exactly what they did.

I would say do what the vet said and wait two months. If the dog is not bothered by it, you should be able to wait.

Ok, I don't know what a prolapsed womb is, but it sounds painful! I wonder if it's an easy thing to sort out in a dog. I hope it gets sorted out soon. Although the dog doesn't seem to be in pain, leaving it could lead to other complications...

While not what you mean with prolapsed uterus, but always heeding or those who know, in this case the veterinarian, and more than your dog does not bother you, whether to operate, even though we do not like, I'll have to do. My dog will pass something similar, also in the uterus, not good as it was what I had, but he grabbed infection, and just when we decided to let her have puppies, we find this, they had to operate, he took everything, and everything went well, but she can not have puppies.
