I had to deal with my first prolapse this week. 
Last season, Hal had some bleeding issues when I first put him in with a female, but he didn't actually prolapse. He'd been with that first female since late summer with no more issues, though. When my hybino female started ovulating, I put her in with him. All seemed well for the first week or so, then I found blood on the paper towels again - just little spots this time instead of the big spots last time. I checked him and sure enough, 2 days before Christmas and I have a prolapsed male. I took him in on Saturday and the vet tried putting it back, but it was just too swollen. So, we decided to wait and see before removing his hemipenis. After a few days of Prep H, anibiotics, and a pain/inflammation reducer he looked much better. Today, the vet was able to easily replace the hemipenis and added two sutures to keep it there. He's now on a stool softener as well. He'll be having the rest of the 2007 season off. Poor guy! :worried: I'm very hopeful that he will be ok now and not have to have his hemipenis removed.
