Comment on I tested positive for Covid a few hours ago and then my puppy got a rectal prolapse an hour later

It’s useful to know that dogs prolapse normally - when they poop, a little of their rectum prolapses out, and then it gets pulled back in when they’re done, and that helps keep their butt clean. The problem your girl is having is that it’s prolapsing enough that it’s not all going back in.
Did you happen to notice if get poops seemed really loose or really firm?

Her prolapse went away on the ride to the vet. -_-
They’re checking for parasites just in case and are shaving around her butt so no poop sticks to it. I was also informed she has properly formed poop that should be on its way out soon.

Yay! Sorry you had the stress and the cost. Hopefully she’s all good now. Really glad to hear it.
