Take her to a vet immediately. No one here is going to tell you anything that your vet won't.

Thanks for posting, was given advice from a Canadian breeder (Dan) Cheers again Dan if you see this..he told me to sqeeze the urate sideways to break it down, I manage to do this & removed half with tweezers, she instantly pulled every thing back as if nothing had happened, didnt damage any vessels & worked a treat..panic over

Would you mind describing or posting a photo of exactly where you put your fingers and squeezed? I would like to bookmark this thread for future reference in case this problem comes up again. I know how to deal with a prolapse, but I wasn't sure if trying to shrink the prolapse would have helped in this case because of the stuck urate. I'm glad you got it fixed.

Problem with that is it was 1am here when he posted that.

I did something very similar when one of my females got bunged up with retained and solidified eggs.
It isn't half a bowel loosening thing to try.

I simply held the urate between my thumb & forefinger sideways & squeezed gently, the urate crumbled & I managed to remove a large part with tweezers before she pulled every thing back in..a good lesson learnt for thefuture
