It is a weakening of the wall of the rectum. Watch out for her needing to go but not producing anything or acting like she is ready to start then all of a sudden moving out of position as if something poked her. Sometimes this is a one time thing for whatever reason and then the rectum wall restrengthens, but sometimes it gets worse and needs surgery and if your vet doesn’t feel comfortable doing this surgery and readily admits it, GOOD FOR HIM!!! You have a good vet and he probably won’t steer you wrong with who he recommends. Usually a high fiber diet is recommended so that the stool is not hard, hard stools can aggravate it and make it worse.
