Question
I have a pet pig, he has some type of bloody tissue hanging out of his anus, its been there no more than 2 days, if that long, what can i do about this? thank you

Answer
I am not a veterinarian, and it is not possible to make a medical diagnosis over the internet.

What you are seeing is most likely a prolapsed rectum. Your pig needs to see a vet for treatment. Sprinkling sugar on a prolapse is a home remedy that often does not work. If the exposed tissue dies this condition is fatal. There's a list of veterinarians that see pot-bellied pigs at www.farec.org
