Answer for Bulldog Urethral Prolapse

Answer for Bulldog Urethral Prolapse DEAR RICHARDO 
Sorry to hear, that must be frustrating.

  1. Answer for Bulldog Urethral Prolapse NEUTER: is he neutered? if not do so.
  2. Answer for Bulldog Urethral Prolapse BLEEDING: is he bleeding badly? If not don’t amputate again. Even if you wanted its likely that at this point they cut all the way down to the bone (os penis) and penis amputation with urethrostomy would be your only option
  3. Answer for Bulldog Urethral Prolapse MILD BLEEDING AND NOT FREQUENT: use tranquilizers when he bleeds, reduce stimulation, cold towel on the prepuce/penis area…for 3 days. It should clot and organize and should stop the bleeding and rebleeding.
  4. Answer for Bulldog Urethral Prolapse SURGERY: there is an art to it, if its not preformed well its likely to happen again
  5. Answer for Bulldog Urethral Prolapse PEXY: often pexy (pulling the mucosal layer inward) is adequate. If amputation is needed I combine it with pexy.
  6. Answer for Bulldog Urethral Prolapse BRACHYCEPHALIC SYNHDROM: if he has an elongated palate, stenotic nares, everted saccules….FIX IT. The condition will cause intraabdominal pressure injecting more blood to that area
  7. Answer for Bulldog Urethral Prolapse LASER THERAPY & PEMT: consider laser and PEMT therapies
