    dosed calves for a neighbour/friend lastnight.. as I was driving them down the road after I thought I saw a calf up the front with a bright red thing under the tail, I looked again and it was gone... then he mounted another calf and out came 4-6" of bright red rectal prolapse and again as they moved on along the road he sucked it back in.

    What ye reckon.. will it get worse? cure itself? what causes it? or will he have to declare it at mart when selling.. otherwise fine healthy white char bull calf

    He wont get better by himself anyway, get your vet soon he might be able to do something for him. He is the best you have I suppose.

    Good man Greysides, you were the man I think that mentioned stitching in another thread ... What is the crack with the squeezers?

    I too am puzzled as to how a Burdizzo might be of use to remedy a rectal prolapse :confused::confused::confused:

    It will stop him mounting other calves anyway

    That's the answer. If it's staying out... stitch and castrate.
    If it's going back in, castrate before you have to stitch.
