Hi doc sorry to bother you but my friends filly was diagnosed with salmonella on saturday and her intestine prolapsed out the anus that night. The vet prescribed antibiotics and showed her how to reinsert the prolapse when it came out he didn't think that is was such a big deal but admitted he had only dealt with it in cows. After reading the articles on salmonella I realize so much more could have been done but I can't find much on the prolapse except for on pregnant mare issues.
I just found out the baby died and was wanting to find out more about prolapses and if there really wasn't much hope anyways for the filly because of this on top of the salmonella.

I presume in this case it was caused by excessive straining. A mild to moderately prolapsed rectum is usually very treatable and is not by itself a bad prognostic indicator. The severity is determined by the amount prolapsed and the condition of the prolapsed rectum.

She must have had other signs possibly colic even that no one at the barn paid attention to then.
Thanks for your time.
Could you point me in the direction on any articles on a prolapsed rectum. |

Hello, a friend of mime asked me if i had ever heard of a prolapsed rectum and i though i would check it out on this site. This horse in question is a 4 year old gelding pony about 500 lbs. This first happen a few weeks ago and was not bad. There were no other signs of sickness. No Fever, no colic signs nothing, still eating, bowel movement looks good.The pony is on hay only with lots of access to water, bowel movement good and moist. Within a few days everything looked normal. Then about 6 weeks later the same thing happened. What could this ???? could be from and do you think this will continue happening. |
