This is a partial rectal prolapse or intussuseption (less likely). These two conditions can be usually told apart by doing rectal examination. I understand that your vet did rectal examination and diagnosed partial rectal prolapse. The alternative treatment for rectal prolapse is a minor surgery, when we put the butt back in place and we place a suture around the butt to make sure the rectum doesn't prolapse again. In Mia's case that sounds like the best treatment option to make sure the rectum does not prolapse again.
