Make a sugar paste and spread it over the proplapse. That will help with any swelling and keep it from drying out. In the meantime get the thing to a vet and have it re-inserted. If it prolapses again, use the paste but realize that you may have to get it sutured to make it stay in place for a few weeks while everything tries to heal. Sometimes they pop out, swell a bit, and they aren't able to be drawn back up normally. If the Penes dry out, they may have to be removed. It all depends on severity and what your vet recommends.
