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,
