If you don't spay it now you might be doing a caesar in 9 weeks...

Had one of these a few years ago and did as your colleague and pushed it back and did a Nylon purse string for a fortnight, seemed to resolve. Recurred the next season so we spayed her then.

If there's no money 5 minutes, a bleb of local and a purse string load cheaper than a spay if no money and they can save up for the op next time.

I had one of these last week. A medium-sized cross-breed dog that had been prolapsed for several weeks(!) following her first season.

It wouldn't go back - no surprise. So I spayed her and used traction on the cervix to pull the prolapse back in. And as others have said vaginal prolapse / hperplasia is oestrgen driven anyway so definitely spay.

A second vote from me for spaying as well. I have only a seen a couple of cases of this and they were both Staffies.....a poss breed link? Or maybe we just all see a lot of unspayed Staffies!

My vote is on spay, the only prolapses I have seen in dogs have been associated with oestrogen assoociated vaginal hyperplasia. Besides which its a staffie so spay at each and every possible opportunity.
