===Cattle=== [[Bovine prolapsed uterus|Prolapsed uterus]] in cattle, particularly dairy cattle, generally occurs in the first 12 hours post-calving.<ref>{{cite web |title=Calving Time Management for Beef Cows and Heifers - Oklahoma State University |url=https://extension.okstate.edu/fact-sheets/calving-time-management-for-beef-cows-and-heifers.html |website=extension.okstate.edu |access-date=11 May 2022 |language=en |date=1 January 2018}}</ref> Frequent causes are [[hypocalcemia]] combined with irritation of the birth canal, causing straining. Replacement of the protrusion, which can range from the size of a softball to the hanging of the entire [[uterus]] down below the hocks, is performed with the cow in sternal recumbency, an [[epidural]] injection, and hindlimbs 'frogged' rearwards to allow the pelvis to tip forward, easing replacement.{{Citation needed|date=March 2010}} Careful washing and cleaning prior to replacement is important as is ensuring that the horns are completely everted once inside the cow. Often a Buhner suture is placed in the vulva to prevent subsequent reprolapse. Another type of reproductive prolapse in cattle is so-called [[bovine vaginal prolapse]].
