Displacements of the bladder include torsion, retroflexion and eversion through the urethra.  Urnine stasis that occurs secondarily to displacements predisposes the urinary tract to infection.
 
==Retroflexion==
 
*Is a sequel of vaginal prolapse or perineal hernias. 
 
**Perineal hernias can lead to serious complications such as hydronephrosis or bladder rupture. 
 
*Can occur in dogs as a result of tenesmus secondary to constipation or prostatic enlargement.
 
==Eversion through the urethra==
 
*The short, wide urethra of females permits prolapse of the bladder.
 
*Follows straining, especially during parturition.
 
*If severe and not replaced, necrosis can occur due to obstruction of the vascalature. 
 
*The bladder can also prolapse through a vaginal tear.
