[QUOTE="Global ovine, post: 7945758, member: 493"] Obviously the author did not also add the word vaginal in his opening, as this is the common complaint from many sheep farmers in developed pastoral nations thus this explanation was requested by me after "fixing" the problem in my flock, or rather on my farm. The background cause remains the same for both conditions, be it uterine prolapse in dairy cows or vaginal prolapse in ewes. The questions it answers is why normal muscle control is lost resulting in prolapse either before the birth process is instigated (vaginal), or immediately after parturition (uterine). Vaginal prolapse is very repeatable. Is it because so much tissue damage has been done, or because those ewes are genetically more susceptible to the triggering chemical situation? There is a genetic link, as in all disease incidence, with breeds like Finn sheep being extremely resistant to prolapse, even in a quarter Finn flock prolapse is rarely seen where straight UK breeds, eg Romney have this occurring.
