My 16 1/2-year-old Jack Russell male, Cozmo, has been experiencing a rectal prolapse that seems to come and go. He appears to be in discomfort when using the restroom but is otherwise fine. Given his advanced age, we want to avoid extensive treatment and ensure his comfort. What advice can you provide, and should we consider euthanasia if necessary?
