The clear part is intestinal membrane. When GTPs defecate, they prolapse every single time. It's when the tissue doesn't retract that problems occur. Definately DO NOT let the tissue dry out. Grab some KY Jelly and keep it wet. A warm soak might also help, but it's all chance. If it doesn't retract on its own, re-insert and apply the bandaid. Keep us posted.

Good luck.
