i have had the Rudis pair for about a month now, separated them and they are doing wonderfully. or (were) doing wonderfully. the male seemed more healthy than the female. eating consistantly with us watching, drinking, and just all around looked better. BUT. today i woke up and saw him and he was pitch black. he was sluggish all day, and had his eyes closed. later on, i looked closer and he had something coming from what i thought was his butt, possibly, a deuce he could not drop. i tried to get it off, but it is an actual body part, like his anus coming out basically... took him to the vet, (girlfriend did) so i do not know the exact diagnosis. i know they got the swelling down of whatever it was and had him looking normal, then she got him back in his cage and it came right back out. now we do not know if he will make it through the night....

what is this thing coming out of his butt that seems like a body part?

is this common?

what is the cause of this?

what is the cure of this?

p.s. it does bleed when we have him on a paper towel....

HELP!
