prolapsed?

[malik454]

idk if hes prolapsed but he has a little pink thing out near his vent area he is only 27 grams
could someone tell me if he is ?

 

[malik454]

its this really small pink thing hanging out of his vent its the size of a pin head is he maturing

can you get some decent pics?

 

[malik454]

truthfully i dont think that that i can but it looks like a small small pink airbubble near its vent

 

[JordanAng420]

How long has it been there? It definately sounds like prolapse could be a possibility. I'd start giving him some sugar/water soaks and maybe a tiny bit of Preparation H if you have some.

 

[malik454]

i just saw it today but he is not sexualy active hes just a baby

 

[malik454]

so how can i help him or will he fix it himself

You need to take him to the vet as he may have some type of parasite that is making it come out,get him there ASAP as if caught early he can be treated and live.

Most prolapses can be taken care of without help from a vet... Parasites generaly do not cause prolapses... That statement is a far grasp and honestly has nothing to support it...

A vet is not always the answer... In fact a visit to a vet will be a last resort for something that can be delt with easily at home... If the home treatments do not work then a vet visit might be in order...

i gave him a sugar water bath im getting him some preperationh today or tommorow

 

[JordanAng420]

Excellent...how is he doing? Any better? Just make sure that solution has a good amt. of sugar in it, as the density in it is what makes it work.

 

[malik454]

i used the preperation h and it retracted a little then he started to lick it then he bite it but he didnt bite any off and he didnt bleed will he able to breed after this like maybe next season? also how long should it be before this clears up? but he is doing a little better

 

[JordanAng420]

Good, keep doing what you're doing. I would definately hold off on breeding him. Next season should be fine...as far as how long until it clears up, that's up to his body. Usually takes a no more than 3-5 days at the most...

 

[malik454]

he is better now i changed his hides because my sister said that he would rub his hemipenis against it could he hhad been marking his territory and it got stuck
