I was wondering if someone could tell me more about a prolapsed rectum. I took my ferret in with a prolapsed rectum, and the vet believes that it is caused by incomplete removal of the scent gland. There is a pea sized mass where the scent gland should be, which the vet thinks is a buildup of the fluid. What should I expect with this condition? The ferret is behaving normally and does not have any problem going to the bathroom. He is a four year old neutered male, and the condition is just now appearing. I am wondering if this needs to be treated now and if the condition might progress. Thank you for any input! [Posted in FML issue 0992]
