Sac protruding from anal vent of newborn! Don't know what to do!!!

bordeauxmike Oct 14, 2003 09:03 AM

The sac is about the size of peanut and is a healthy pink in color. I can't find any info on this in any of my books. Anyone ever come across a problem like this? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

In this case, too, a vet should be seen. The prolapse could be caused by various conditions: lack of physical development due to premature hatching, &/or parasites, low temps, impaction, etc.
