This happened to me once and I didnt do the sugar thing just the moist paper towels in his cage for a couple days and it fixed itself but it wasnt a bad prolapse.

Sorry not sure about the sugar method...

I have heard that you can use preparation H on it too, can anyone confirm that?

 

[Keith N]

I know someone that used prep h with success

What is prep h ??

 

[Shera]

This thread shows a picture of a prolapse, and it also confirms the preparation H thing. I'd try that.

What is prep h ??

Hemorrhoid cream, it reduces swelling.

 

[melvintj]

okay i will check or i can find it here in the Netherlands

 

[Northstar Herp]

Witch hazel is an astrigent produced from a tree that is a common ingredient in prep h, it might help by itself if you can't find the prep h.

[Northstar Herp]

Here's a couple of things I found on a web search. Seems it doesn't really matter the amount of sugar you use...

I wish I knew and was able to help you. I'm sure someone here can. If it were me I'd probably just do a saturated solution.

No problem, eventually someone who has had personal experience with this will chime in. But until then, I will help however I can.

i will try the sucker soak now but does the wole body needs to in the soak or only the hemi i think the whole body

 

[Northstar Herp]

I would think just the hemipene. From what I've read, the sugar allows the swelling to go down so they might be able to pull it in themselves.

Yep they do it for all kinds of animals including dogs.

 

[Shera]

Yeah I agree, just do it shallow.

 

[melvintj]
