Seek immediate veterinary care if you suspect your dog has a prolapsed rectum. It requires immediate attention as infection and inability to eliminate results quickly. The vet can do a less invasive procedure using a "purse string" suture, to restrict the opening and hold the rectum in place - the goal being to provide an opportunity for scarring to re-affix the rectum in place. Such a procedure is left in for a few weeks. A more invasive surgery can be performed to fix the problem; this may be tried if the first option has failed.
