Ewe Prolapse Harness Nylon

Using a prolapse harness is the most gentle “cure” for a prolapse. If properly fitted it will prevent ewes from straining and pushing the prolapse back out. If prolapses are treated early (when small) our success rate is high.When a ewe prolapses we use both a retainer and a harness (as shown above). After the ewe stops straining (usually within 24 hours), we remove the retainer and loosen the harness a bit.

How does it work?

When a ewe strains, her neck drops and her back arches. This pulls the cross webbing of the harness tighter against the vulva and also pulls the retainer (if one is used) into the ewe. In a few hours the impulse to strain stops.
