Dogs with rectal prolapse should be restricted from any strenuous activity, exercise or running. This can help to reduce the risk of further prolapse.
2. Increase dietary fibre
Increasing the amount of dietary fibre in your dog's food can help to bulk up the stool, which can help to reduce the risk of prolapse. Good sources of fibre for dogs include vegetables such as carrots, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli, as well as fruits such as apples and bananas.
3. Administer medication
If the rectal prolapse is severe, your veterinarian may prescribe medication to help reduce the inflammation and swelling in the rectum. This can help to reduce the risk of further prolapse.
4. Surgical repair
In some cases, surgical repair may be necessary to correct the rectal prolapse. This is usually only necessary in cases where the prolapse is severe or where other treatments have failed.
If your dog has rectal prolapse, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent further complications.
