Prolapses

Types

Vaginal Prolapse

• Typically occurs in late pregnancy, before calving.
• Tissue protrudes intermittently at first, often worsening over time.
• 

Uterine Prolapse

• Occurs shortly after calving, when the uterus turns inside out and passes through the vulva.
• This is an emergency — contact us immediately.
• Have her tied to something (Tree, tractor, contained somehow) by the time we get there.
• 

Rectal Prolapse

• Tissue from the rectum protrudes through the anus.
• Can be associated with straining, coughing, or other underlying conditions.
•
