Prolapsed vagina in pug

this is how it looked. It was not in season.
It took a lot of effort to get it back in. Sugar hypertonic, steroids etc.... but what made the difference to make it possible to put back was when I used a large bore needle to puncture it...first lots of blood, then lots of fluid -shrank it Down considerably.

Now one week later I checked it- vagina look like normal, bulb has completely retracted.

Was this dog in season when this appeared? As I then would tend to think of it being vaginal hyperplasia, which usually resolves once out of season (and then I'd spay them at that stage).

I would post pics if that was an option in this forum...But I talked to them today, seems the prolapsing part is sticking inside, the dog is happy as ever, and the vaginal stiches are holding. The "bulb" that wants to prolapse is decreasing in size, so I will leave it for a few weeks, and only consider surgery if it pops out again, or starts bothering the dog.

We had a vaginal fold prolapse - responded well to GnRH off license from the human pharmacy.

Cheers,

Hi, Stigen,

Have you seen toe pug since your last post? What was the outcome? This case looks interesting to share.

I see one star man is around again: perhaps you'd like to explain why my suggestion is so deserving.

I liked your suggestion, so gave it a max, at least brings up the average a bit :)

"no , i spayed it when it came in with the prolapse 3 days ago, wrote it in the main post, although I used the word sterilise,.,"

My apologies. And I read it twice. just shows how easy it is to miss something, I was looking for neuter or spay.

I never attempt surgical replacement/repair (do try to place vulval/skin stitches to keep tissue moist if possible, owners apply emolient cream if not) - once spayed they are always reasonably resolved by stitches out.

Other than not being sure what a mops is, the way I have dealt with these in the past is similar to a prolapsing rectum: a bi-lateral non-adsorbable, perivulval, single interrupted, tacking suture through the skin each side passing into the distal vagina approx 1cm in, trying to avoid penetrating the mucosa if possible, to anchor it then back out through the skin - if that makes sense. Leave for a couple of weeks to form some granulation before removal. Failing that I would perform a pull through technique and amputate the prolapsed bit. Assume its spayed otherwise would do that at the same time.

So it's spayed already? - how long ago, if recent, then it should settle. If spayed a while ago, then something odd is going on - all the ovary removed?

yeah...just noticed...a typo; pugs are called mops in my native language. No member of the public was involved in the surgery. Thanks for the input , hope it will resolve by itself now that the dog is spayed..

mops? Member of the public? Got a bit concerned there

It may be a prolapsing hyperplastic thingy that will resolve when the bitch is spayed. Can't remember what it's called. Delvosterone would help in the interim.
