Puppy Has No Anal Opening, What Do I Do?

This disease is called atresia ani. There are 4 types of this disease-with 3 of the types an animal is unable to defecate at all. Without surgical correction this congenital defect is fatal.
It is unlikely that this puppy would be able to live until 6-8 weeks of old without correction of this problem. This puppy needs to be examined by a veterinarian to review this puppy's anatomy and figure out where she is defecating from. She may have Type 4 atresia ani--this is when the vagina and rectum are connected and they defecate through the vagina.

I am not certain, but I am concerned. Send this kind woman an e-mail explaining to her what you have to us as she is professional puppy veterinarian: email And good luck to all of you. :) And perhaps this will help, too: q698415.html
