Clinical examination revealed normal appetite, pulse and respiratory rate with mild hyperthermia (102.8˚F) and congested mucous membrane. After diagnosed as type I (or incomplete) rectal prolapse the cattle was treated according therapy without perse-string suture. The epidural anaesthesia was done with 4 ml of 2% Lignocaine injection for proper restraining. Prolapsed mass washed with diluted solutions of Luke warm 2% potassium permanganate solution and after applying 50 gm of sugar granules on the mass, prolapse was manually replaced.
