My dog has "rectal prolaspe' from what I've seen on pictures and symptoms. During the Corona virus outbreak is there any home remedies or stuff we can do at home during the lol lockdown to cure this?

A rectal prolapse is an emergency. You can try soaking her bum in some cool water or apply granulated sugar to the area. Unfortunately, most animals have to have the cause of the prolapse addressed and if it does not resolve she may need surgery.
