This problem mostly occurs due to consumption of stimulative food or infection in the uterus. Shri Rehmatkhan Solanki of Char village in Junagadh district uses the bark of silk cotton tree (Bombax ceiba) for treating prolapse of uterus in animals. He boils about 500 gram bark of the tree in one liter of water and allows it to cool down. This decoction is given to the affected animal, one drench in the morning and one in the evening, for three days. This treatment gives results in three to four hours. it is a traditional practice."
