A rectal prolapse in a bull calf is a serious condition that requires immediate veterinary attention.
Here's why you should seek professional help:
* Causes: Prolapses can be caused by various factors, including straining during defecation, diarrhea, parasites, and even genetic predisposition. A vet can accurately diagnose the underlying cause.
* Complications: If left untreated, a prolapsed rectum can become infected, necrotic (die), and lead to severe pain and potentially death.
* Treatment: Treatment depends on the severity and cause. A vet can recommend the best course of action, which may include manual reduction of the prolapse, surgical correction, or medications to address the underlying cause.
I urge you to contact a veterinarian immediately. They can provide the necessary diagnosis and treatment for your bull calf.
