It sounds like a prolapse of the anus or hemipenis. You need to keep that area moist and clean - then take it to a Vet ASAP!!!!!

"Puffed out and a little bloody" is not sounding good...can you provide a picture or more of a discription of what is going on? If there is blood anywhere on your chameleon, I would get it to a vet ASAP!

Where is the blood and where is it "puffed out"? It sounds like you need a vet.

Yeah sounds like a rectal prolapse. One of my Red Eye tree frogs had this only a few months ago. Just get him/her to a Vet ASAP and have them take care of it.
