Prolapses

                           ---------



Prolapses of the penis, uterus, intestine or urinary bladder

are relatively common.  General anesthesia is necessary to

carefully replace the prolapsed organ inside the body.  Simply

pushing it back into the cloaca where it is out of sight may

result in a slow death.  A thorough diagnostic work-up (x-rays,

laboratory testing) must be performed to diagnose their causes.
