Bullie's prolapsed urethra
Submitted by Anonymous on April 20, 2010 - 11:23pmZetty is going in the morning to have a stitch put in to fix the prolapse. I was wondering if someone that's been through this with their dog can give me some advice and info? Thanks in advance.

We did this
We had to do this same procedure with one of our males. It was very simple. He did fine with it. The only thing my vet told me afterwards was to try to keep him from having erections as it could pop the stitch. He was very young when the procedure was done and he lived with it until he passed away at an old age, and never had one single problem. Never bled again. Every so often I would check to make sure the stitch was still there and it was.

Re: Bullie's prolapsed urethra
I thank you for the info. I have to laugh though because Zetty is sooo square and unflexable that he cannot even scratch his own ear or lick his special place if he tried. I'll keep everyone updated on his recovery.
Also Becky we are in southwest nebraska.

Re: Bullie's prolapsed urethra
don't let him try to scratch at it with his hind leg and don't let him hump anything. He will be fine.
