247:. A vaginal prolapse appears as a small pink or red ball of tissue ranging in size from grapefruit to soccer ball. It emerges before calving, whereas a uterine prolapse takes place after calving. Vaginal prolapse occurs when there is an increase in pressure in the abdominal cavity during the late stages of parturition. It is more common than uterine prolapse and there is a genetic factor in the risk. It is quite common for a vaginal prolapse to occur in the same animal with each calving; uterine prolapse recurs less often.

190:. If there is a lot of hemorrhaging, then there is no reason to perform the reduction and therefore amputation is the preferred option. Gross hemorrhaging can occur in a scared animal that cannot be restrained. If violent struggling or running occurs with the prolapsed uterus, it can cause extreme distress, coma, and death.

There is no way to completely prevent uterine prolapse. To reduce the risk, cows are returned to a standing position and encouraged to move around as soon as possible after calving. This is especially important in cases where a calf is pulled to assist the mother. When the cow stands, the uterus

Normally, if a prolapsed uterus is placed back into the animal correctly, there are no further complications. However, there is a chance of secondary infection, which can cause the cow to be slow to re-breed or even unable to be re-bred at all. Genetics does not make a difference in the risk of
