Dr. Williams, Tolly is spayed according to her papers and she has had continual bouts with diarrhea so I imagine the prolapsed rectum is the cause, I will go get her checked out. Thanks a lot. > Hetrick - are you sure that this is the anal sphincter, or could it be >the vulva. Either way the protrusion is not normal. Is your ferret spayed? >...If it is truly the anus, then we are probably deaing with a rectal prolapse [Posted in FML issue 1199]
