My kitten has a prolapsed rectum. Should I go to the vet or wait?

Question

My kittens rectum is slightly prolapsed. It wont go back in he doesnt seem bothered by this but i am concerned for his health. Will this fix itself over time? Or should i take him to get checked out? And what do you think could be the cause of this issue? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1lb

Poor Pumpkin! I recommend taking to his veterinarian to get this checked out. It is most often due to straining to defecate and can indicate diarrhea, intestinal parasites, gastrointestinal illness, etc. It should resolve once his straining is addressed.
