Keep the prolapse damp as stated ,I've never dealt with one I
wasn't able to fix myself. I've heard people say to put honey on
it to keep it moist & anticeptic. Main thing to do is get them
to a herp vet ASAP. The proper treatment will be prescribed .
Here are quotes from another forum on Prolapse treatment:
"Try coating the prolapsed tissue with honey. This will do three things, reduce swelling, keep bacteria away,
and possibly act as a lubricant so the prolapse can retract itself."
"One of the vets I work for will try 5% dextrose solution, the other literally just "paints" a paste of sugar and water onto
the prolapsed region. The idea is to get the prolapse small enough to gently work back in so that the tissue doesn't
necrose. Definitely bring this animal to a vet. A healthy animal shouldn't prolapse. Probably the two biggest causes of the herps
with prolapses that we saw were kidney disease and intestinal parasites, though there is a whole myriad of other causative reasons."
