Prolapse Retainer
Least expensive response to vaginal prolapses. Every shepherd should have at least one on hand.
Used in conjunction with a prolapse harness.
Benefits
Specs
- Dimensions: 9-1/4" x 5-3/4"
- Width of spoon: 1-11/16"
- String ties are 15" long
- Made of heavy duty yellow plastic that does not break in use
- Made in only one size that will fit any breed of sheep
How to Use
- Clean off the prolapse.
- Apply SuperLube™ to it and push it gently, but completely, back inside the ewe.
- Insert the spoon into the vulva.
- Tie to a clump of wool (leave no slack). If there is no long wool, tie it to the two buckles of a prolapse harness.
Tips
Precautions
We rarely use this retainer on its own. If a ewe prolapes, we immediately use both a retainer and a harness. After the ewe stops straining (normally 2 to 3 days), we remove the retainer and somewhat loosen the harness.
Listed below are recommended optional components or related items. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

Flimsy compared to the blue ones. But seems to have done the job and I like the price point!

I have show wether that had anal prolapse. It does work. I used it for 3 days.

Well constructed, smooth material… let’s hope I do not need it.

Not bad made, but very sharp edges. Molding was not trimmed at all. Would be very hard on your girls. Deburring tool takes it right off. But I would expect this to come in ready to use.
