    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.

    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.

    Thanks Derek..its great that people pass on their experience to others in times of trouble..I am glad this problem tonight was dealt with quickly, she appears perfectly fine now which is a weight off my mind, I still feel gutted at losing her sister a few weeks back when she escaped & was too late by the time I found her..happier endinding this time around thankfuly

    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

    Thanks for sharing the info. It's always a good day when you learn something new.
