My female dog has a vaginal prolapse. Is it an emergency? What to do?

No, this is not normal at all, and it will not go away. It sounds like Magic has a vaginal prolapse, and she has to see a vet for this immediately. It needs to be replaced into it's correct anatomical position, and given that it's been out of her vaginal for a month, it absolutely has to be corrected now. Please take Magic into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her now.

If your elderly dog has vaginal bleeding you should have her seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible because that is not normal. If she has not been spayed it could be a sign of a uterus infection called pyometra which can be fatal if not treated immediately. Also it could be possible that she has blood in her urine which could be a sign of a urinary tract infection or possibly stones. If she worsens in any way, becomes lethargic, starts vomiting, or starts bleeding more, you should have her seen by a veterinarian immediately.

Oh no, poor Ella! It does sound like she has a vaginal prolapse. I would have her seen be vet right away. If the tissue is left out too long, blood supply could be cut off leading to death of the tissue and/or the tissue could become infected. I would take Ella into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her now.

This is called a "vaginal prolapse" and is common in young intact females. It usually happens right before or during the dog's heat cycle. This is a hormonal problem associated with an overabundance of estrogen and usually, spaying the dog will remedy this. It usually happens right before or during the dog's heat cycle.

This looks like a vaginal prolapse. That is when the vagina turns inside out. This is very swollen and needs to be lubricated and then manipulated back into place. You can clean it gently with a warm wet cloth, then apply KY Jelly to it or Vaseline to protect the sensitive skin from injury, then I'd bring her in tomorrow morning to get this examined and treated. I'm afraid if you leave this it may not get back to normal. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Piper.

Thank you for your question. If you have access to a veterinarian, I would go there now. It is a little difficult to tell from the picture, but this looks like it could possibly be a vaginal prolapse, meaning some of the tissue from inside the vagina has come out. The sooner this gets addressed the better the chance of recovery. Once it stays out, it can swell and get harder to put back inside. I hope Midge can get help soon!

This ball could be a vaginal prolapse, which does require immediate medical attention. When a tissue is displaced from it's correct anatomical position, it needs to be returned to it's correct place or else the tissues can become infected and/or die. I would take Angel into a vet right away. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com
