Keep it moist during the night until you can get it to the vet. in the morning. Make sure the vet. nows that it has to come in now when you call.

Since you said that you got it in and it keeps coming back out, the vet. will have to get it back in and then put a couple stiches inside to keep it in.

Take Care, TLB
