| I don't know anything about breeding or young young pups, but I wish you luck and hope your baby is alright. You may want to post this under sick / Emergency AND under breeder forum. Sometimes this forum gets busier and posts get overlooked. Elaine |

| Do you have an emergency vet in your area? If she's small and is feeling bad, they can turn quick. I'd call now and bring her right in. It's better to be safe. Elaine |

| I googled this and this is what I found. I'm still looking as it does not say what to do for it. Anyway, this is what is said about it. Rectal prolapse is an uncommon condition in which rectal tissue protrudes through the anal opening. It appears as a tubular piece of tissue attached to the anus. The rectum is the part of the large intestine that ends just inside the anus. Rectal prolapse typically occurs in puppies and kittens under 6 months of age. The cause of the prolapse is usually not ever determined, but many veterinarians feel that gastrointestinal parasites are an underlying cause. The affected animal typically strains and strains and eventually part of the rectum is pushed out the anus. |

| O.K. I just googled some more and it states that vet treatment is essential and that the pup will have a fair chance of recovery with vet care. PLEASE GET YOUR BABY TO THE VET. Not trying to scare you, just worried for you and for the baby. Elaine |

| Alright, one last search produced this; Initial treatment of prolapse involves treating any underlying disease that directly or indirectly causes the bowel to protrude through the anal canal. A veterinarian may reduce minor, limited prolapses conservatively with manipulation. Recurrent cases may require surgical placement of a temporary suture to prevent recurrence. In severe cases, the prolapsed bowel segment may be strangulated and ischemic (lacking in adequate circulation) or necrotic (dead tissue). These cases will require surgical removal of the necrotic parts and reconstruction of the remaining bowel. I hope this helps you out a little and again not trying to worry you more. I'll keep you both in my thoughts. Elaine |

| If you don't have an ER vet...awhile back some one posted the 24 Hour Vet Advice phone number @ University of Penn Animal Hospital it's (215)746-8911. Tell them the problem and they can at least tell you if this is something urgent or if it can wait til morning. Good luck with your little one, hope all is well.
