The Chondro guys deal with prolapse pretty regularly. They mix powder sugar and water to a paste and cover the prolapse with it. Keep it moiste and get to a Vet or get a refund/replacement from your dealer.



The mixture will help keep it moiste and aides in reducing swelling so it can reinvert itself. If it becomes severe enough a Vet will place what is called a purse string suture inside until the animal has developed better sphincter tone. Then they will remove it.



It is important if you are going to keep this animal to only feed small meals less frequent until it is well healed. (6 months or so) This will keep the BM's small and place less strain on that area at each BM until it gets it's muscle tone back. If not, you stand a good chance of going through this again in the future.



Either way, get to a Vet or get a refund/replacment animal for your peice of mind.



Good luck and keep us updated on it's outcome.
