Chris Gilbert sent this to me in an email regarding this subject:

I had a male like that in my CR litter, kinked tail caused it. Info from Mike Weitzman was to try sugar water/paste. I've read for GTPs to use brown sugar.

While that prevented swelling in my guy, it did not retract, and the tips did dry.

I did not give up on him though and tied off both hemipenes with dental floss. Knowing that with the kink he should NEVER be bred, there was nothing to lose here. He shed before the amputation was complete and has eaten 3 meals and defecated 3 times since then.
