I got some advice from one hobbyist to try soaking the vent in sugar water. When that didnt help i tried to step up swabbing the area with a anti-biotic ointment. It seemed to help, and the swelling was going down consistently and the prolapse colors went from an angry infectious red to more healthy colors. But that everything went bad again. I think the prolapse was caused by dehydration complications given Charlie's aversion to water.
