There are many symptoms of anal prolapse, if it is just mucosal prolapse Usually, when a sick cat defecates, you can see the rectal mucosa exposed outside the anus. If the entire rectum prolapses, you will see a long cylindrical shape, redness, swelling and edema. If it is not treated, the rectum will become black and necrotic if it remains outside, and secondary bacterial infection may lead to ulcers.

Recently, a prolapsed cat and French bulldog came to the clinic. The main introduction is that the cat is 3 months old, female, with a body temperature of 37.8 degrees Celsius, no vaccinations and deworming, and a weight of 1.8Kg. , the cat’s owner said that he had just adopted the cat for two days and had not had time to get vaccinated, so he hurriedly sent it over. From the outside, the kitten looked very thin. The owner complained that the cat had been in poor spirits for the past two days. He ate and drank less, often vomited, and wanted to defecate but could not. Later, he discovered this There is something hanging outside the anus. The cat had a painful reaction to palpation of the upper abdomen, weak bowel sounds were found on auscultation with a stethoscope, and fecal pellets were found on digital rectal examination. A routine blood test revealed that the red blood cells were low and the white blood cells were high, indicating anemia, malnutrition, and inflammation. According to the owner's narrative and clinical symptoms, it can be diagnosed as anal prolapse caused by constipation. First, clean the fecal balls in the kitten's rectum, and then inject fluids to adjust the electrolytes in the body and supplement nutrition. This kitten's anal prolapse is not very serious. Use 1% disinfectant potassium permanganate to clean the prolapsed part and collect the prolapsed material. Then use the cigarette bag suture method to sew up the anus, but leave a certain amount of space. gaps to facilitate defecation. If it is in the early stage of rectal prolapse, you can use plastic surgery for rectal prolapse. Even if the edema is very slight and the mucosa is not damaged or necrotic, you can first clean the prolapsed mucus hair with 5% alum solution and use acupuncture to prick the edema. After the edema slowly disappears,Then put it back in until it is completely put in. Finally, use alcohol to inject the muscles around the anus to prevent it from coming out again. Another method is that the rectal prolapse is very serious, and ulcers, necrosis, etc. have already occurred. Because it is of no use to reintroduce it at this time, so the rectum is resected, the sick cat is anesthetized, and the affected area needs to be disinfected. , use stainless steel needles to perform cross penetration and fixation at the base of the prolapsed rectum, and then use a knife to remove the entire prolapsed rectum. After the bleeding is stopped, the serosa is sutured with nodules, and then the mucosa is sutured with nodules to bury the serosal layer. Pull out the steel needle and the intestine will automatically retract into the anus.
