My puppy has rectal prolapse after car. Can it survive without vet?

Question

A puppy that was merely touched by the rear end of a car has developed some kind of a rectal prolapse. The puppy is really small, possibly a little over a month old. It's in discomfort and hasn't eaten. The dog is unable to stand. Will it be able to heal itself on its own ? The incident happened in a rural area in India and it's highly unlikely that it will receive proper medical treatment. Is it possible for a puppy this small to survive such a condition ? Thank you in adv. for your response.

If the dog is unable to stand, it's in discomfort, and it's not eating, I would not believe a puppy this small could survive in that condition. It really needs to see a vet asap. If you can, please take it into the closest vet. Best of luck.
