Rectal Prolapse 5mo Fainter Doeling

Super Fainty Myotonic Doeling. She has a cough and is being treated for it with antibiotics. Almost every time she coughs she scares herself and let’s out a breathless shriek and rectum pops out like this. Sometimes it goes in itself and a few times I’ve had to help. Temp/Eyelids are fine.
Her sister died last week, she had the same problems, prolapse, cough treated w/antibiotics. Super super fainty. it is hard to find info on Myotonics unless you’re just looking for “funny” falling videos. But I’m wondering if anyone knows if prolapse rectum is common with this breed or if it may just be my gals. I’ve had some experience with Myotonics but never this sensitive. I was planning to breed for meat but will never breed her now, she’s too fainty and delicate, she passes out when the wind blows. She is a pet only. I’d like her to survive but is it best to cull or is she fixable & able to live a decent existence? She is having some blood today because of it popping out so many times. Regularly treated for coccidia, wormed, vaccines etc.

 

She never had a fever, only cough. But sister was on antibiotic for fever and runny nose and cough. So I was just giving her what was left of sister’s antibiotics since she was displaying some of the same symptoms. I have been monitoring her very closely and she coughs less and no prolapsing since Friday! She is bright, cheery & is playing again which I haven’t seen since her sister passed. She will probably be a hard keeper if problems like this keep arising and I have thought about her quality of life especially now that her sister & only “friend” is gone.

 

She does get free choice minerals, baking soda and handful of rolled oats with coccidia pellets and probios mixed in 1x/day

 

Run? Hah. She does NOT run. She’s a LADY!
She coughs when she eats. I sit and watch her every feeding now so I can watch for prolapse. She is doing well! No “outbursts” since Friday & the coughing is less & she is acting like her old self again. Antibiotics are finished. I was thinking that the prolapse might be inherited but I haven’t found any literature on it.

 

I haven’t had her see the vet. I’m thinking he’s just going to want to give antibiotics which I already have her on and she is responding very well to.
