Prolapsed cloaca

[nitrogen15]

Tiger developed a prolapse over the weekend. The vet successfully re-inserted it and is leaving stitches in for two weeks. An x-ray did reveal a calcified 1cm mass, but we couldn't tell if it was a mouse skull or calcified egg. The plan is to wait and see if it will dissolve. I've cranked Tiger's heat up a bit based on the vet's recommendations, and am hoping for the best.

We too are hoping for the best. Any photos of the repair job?

Thanks Steve! I took this pic of the prolapse while packing her up for the vet.

Looks nasty. Glad to hear that the vet was able to sort it and she is on the road to recovery. Hopefully it should be ok from here.

Ditto.

Another finger-crosser here. From recent experience - it's definitely worth seeing if the calcified mass clears in its own time. I played the waiting game with my 'Florida blue' eastern females and it's paid off.

Yikes, hope that mass clears on its own.

Any chance you can get a photo of the xray or if it's digital have them email it to you, then post it?

Glad they were able to stitch it back in. Hopefully there won't be much troubles with recovery and the mass. Good luck!

Thanks for the crossed fingers! There is a digital x-ray and I'll try to get it and post it after the follow-up appointment. Tiger was in cloudy phase when she got her stitches, and she may have trouble shedding completely where the stitches are. Is there something I could do to help with that?
