Hi Mary

According to a few vets I have talked to. Reptiles(varanids) do not process petroleum based antibiotics, so they are of no use. They recomended sulfa based antibiotics. If I remember correctly.

Letting a varanid take its course leaving the prolapse hanging out, is very dangerous.

I believe the proper proceedure is to clean, disinfect, reinsert, and hold in place. Its actually easy to do and somewhat silly, like using a bandaid to keep the prolapse in. Which as odd as it sounds works well.

Thanks
