Sorry for your loss, always harder when they are taken too early and we aren't prepared to let them go.

Basenji Puppy bottom problem after bowel movement
-
2 month basenji puppy, has red part of butt petruding after last bowel movement! It's staying out! Does anyone know what might cause that?
-
Take the pup to the Vet, immediately
-
Did your puppy have diarrhea? It can happen I think it’s called a prolapsed anus. If that happens there isn’t much that can be done. A vet may be able to do surgery. I would take the puppy in to get checked. Good luck!
-
To the vet...and let us know how is your puppy doing

It's a prolapsed rectum, and it can be fixed but the pup needs immediate vet attention.

How is the puppy. I saw one this week for the first time in all my years [hitting 50 soon!] of Basenjis. Vet attention.. but it requires lubrication and poking it back in throughout the day [as much as possible] to help it get that back to the normal position. It can be fixed and isn't a death sentence.
Let us know how he is doing!! -
My 8 yr old just had this happen. He has had diarrhea issues his entire life, but never this. It is called a prolapsed anus, and even if it resolves in its own, u need to go to vet for antibiotics and to discuss possible causes. It’s not normal, but can happen when straining.
