#Rectal #prolapse in cat: Rectal prolapse is a condition in which one or more layers of the #rectum protrude through the anus. Prolapse may be classified as #incomplete (only the innermost rectal layer is protruding) or #complete (all rectal layers are protruding). The condition commonly occurs in young cats that have severe #diarrhea or that routinely strain to defecate. An #elongated, cylinder-shaped mass protruding through the anal opening usually indicates a rectal prolapse. Identifying and eliminating the cause of prolapse is a key part of treatment. Small or incomplete prolapses can often be #manually replaced by the veterinarian while the cat is anesthetized.
