Rectal prolapses can develop into a serious problem. This rectal tissue is not supposed to be exposed to the outside environment. It can become dried out, infected, and if severe enough necrotic (dead or dying tissue).
Your veterinarian can help to replace the prolapse, and discuss ways to prevent this in the future.
Sometimes surgical correction is needed to prevent the prolapse from recurring.
