 We have a prolasped uterus (Chihuahua) coming in tomorrow for surgery, I&amp;#39;ve never seen one before so what should I expect? Do you just set up as you would for a bitch spay or something? </description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: Prolapsed Uterus</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/127231?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:45:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:90d1395b-23cc-411f-b794-258a99323d9a</guid><dc:creator>Mark Hedberg</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Depends on what your vet wants to do, really! What I did last time was coat the prolapse in table sugar (osmosis pulls the fluid out of the engorged enflamed&amp;nbsp;uterus, contracting it), reduced the uterus back into place, then performed a normal spay. (Salt REALLY REALLY REALLY stings.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Takes slightly longer (you&amp;#39;re waiting 5-10 minutes for the fluid to come out) but well worth it. Your mileage will of course vary - depending on what the state of the uterus is like (friable? damaged? infected?) and your vet&amp;#39;s surgical plan (remember, he/she&amp;#39;s on the scene with the patient and we&amp;#39;re on a forum giving long distance advice.) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
