This could be a prolapsed vagina or even a prolapsed uterus or urinary bladder, You will need to take Katniss and her babies to a vet preferably now. You can put a moist cloth on the red sac to keep it from drying out. It will need to be put back inside so there is no permanent damage to her vagina or uterus. If it is a prolapsed urinary bladder this would be a serious emergency. Please take her now,

    It could be vaginal hyperplasia or a vaginal or cervical prolapse. If she can still urinate, it is not a medical emergency, but it will need to be addressed by a vet. If she cannot urinate, then it is a medical emergency and she needs immediate veterinary care. She will likely need to be spayed and may need the tissue tacked back into place depending on the diagnosis.
