That sounds a little more than mildly infuriating. Hope you and your puppy start feeling better soon.

Thank you!
Thank you for not posting pictures.
Sorry to hear about you and your dog though :(
That really sucks. I know when I had COVID, I got pretty fuzzy mentally and it made dealing with anything a lot harder. I called into work a couple times to support things I thought important enough to warrant it, and it was really tough. I'm sorry you have to deal with vet stuff and decisions when you should just be able to be sick.
Did the vet check for parasites? As I understand it, usually rectal prolapse in dogs is because they're straining to poop, either because of constipation or diarrhea. If you've already been trying to make sure her diet is bland, it could be something else messing her up.
Is it a really young puppy? They can have generic issues too, unfortunately.
Hang in there!
My girl is 15 weeks. She tested negative for any parasites a few days before the diarrhea started. She's 2/3 poodle and I've heard that poodles can have digestive issues. She was definitely straining to poop when it happened. I thought she just had poop in the fur by her butt that was making it hard for her, so I gave her a bath and that's when I noticed the slight prolapse.
I'm sure that must be really distressing - you never want to see stuff on the outside that's supposed to be on the inside. It's useful to know that dogs prolapse normally - when they poop, a little of their rectum prolapses out, and then it gets pulled back in when they're done, and that helps keep their butt clean. The problem your girl is having is that it's prolapsing enough that it's not all going back in.
Did you happen to notice if get poops seemed really loose or really firm?
Her prolapse went away on the ride to the vet. -_-
They're checking for parasites just in case and are shaving around her butt so no poop sticks to it. I was also informed she has properly formed poop that should be on its way out soon.
She's had diarrhea off and on for a while. Hopefully it's just a phase
Yay! Sorry you had the stress and the cost. Hopefully she's all good now. Really glad to hear it.
That is really hard, hope you and your puppy get through this safe and sound ❤️
That's rough, sorry to hear it.
I know it doesn't help now but try some canned pumpkin or pumpkin tablets/treats to help their pooping in the future. If my beagle doesn't have them his rectal glands get enlarged.
