I hope mods dont blend this post with older ones.(please)
Im extremely afraid and been dealing with this long enough.
My cat had a rectal prolapse in September, had a purse stitch that wasn't done properly then we switched vet, she was hospitalized for 4 days and got a colopexy done.
(January) She had diarrhea we solved switching to hypoallergenic diet ( had to run tests and switch vet do we found out it was allergy/intolerance)
She was so long with diarrhea the prolapse came back
Conservative treatment worked first, we did ultrasound to check the surgery stitches and it was all okay.
(Last week) Second time i saw her strain too much and it definitely prolapsed but as the second time it went back inmediately after pooping.
We been 1 week on corticoids, last 2 days were amazing since i didn't see her scooting or the tissue prolapsed.
We had a checkup today and it went well, no fever etc. Vet told me if she was going strong next week she was going to be discharged.
When we were coming back home ( i don't own a car so i use public transportation) she was meowing too much for her usual since shes used to her carrier by now.
She ended up pooping inside the carrier, i saw the tissue prolapse once again. I dont know if it was because i was extremely scared at the moment ( 20 minutes ago) but i saw it prolapse a lot more? Yet again it went inside on its own in seconds, i gotta mention its not a little this time it was a good finger protruding.
She even puked inside of her carrier and i honestly was about to poop myself too, it was extremely scary.
Shes sunbathing rn, i wipped her down cleaned the mess and her bottom looks okay.
Which leads me to the question , if she had a colopexy already, will she need another one to fix this current one?. My vet keeps saying the stitches still doing its job, and that the fact that it goes back inside in matter of a minute/ seconds its good.
But i keep feeling like we go further 2 steps and 3 steps back.
As i said im extremely scared, will this prolapse happen bc she wasn't able to squat in the carrier? I was so happy i didn't see it prolapse the past 2 days and now this
