Any vets or anyone know about dog rectums?

I was wondering do you know something about dogs with a rectum is lower than its suppose to be? How much would a surgery cost for fix something like that?
Answers:
Is it genetic or is she overweight? Not sure what the problem is but any rectal surgery is risky at best. Post op complications could be incontinence.
So how you do know for a fact that the dog's rectum is lower than it's "supposed" to be??? If the dog isn't having any trouble taking a crap, then who cares what position his rectum is in? If it aint broke...don't fix it.
Are you serious? You are asking about re-routing your dog's rectum? That's kind of like asking to re-route his ear canal so that his ear can reside in the middle of his forehead... lol
Trust me, I have never heard of such a thing, but I can assure you that it would cost multiple thousands of dollars, if not tens of thousands of dollars, that is, if you can even find someone to do it. Your average vet probably wouldn't even attempt it, unless he was unscrupulous and just wanted to take your money, regardless of the outcome of the surgery. You would have to find some kind of doggie rectum specialist.
Just leave it be. He/she will learn to live with it, and you should be able to do so too.
