I GET I LIL FREAKED OUT SO I GO TO THE KITCHEN TO GET A BETTER LOOK AT THE THING. SO I TURNED THE LIGHT ON AND RAN THE WATER THINKING THE WATER WILL TAKE OUT{WHAT I THINK IS DRY POOP} YOU KNOW NO BIG DEAL.. SO I DO THAT AND THEN I SEE LIL BIT OFF BLOOD ON THE THING AND I GET REALLY FREAKED OUT I RUN TO THE BATHROOM PUT HER IN THE SINK THIS THING LOOKS LIKE IS COMING OUT OF HER AND SAND WAS COVERING IT I RUN THE WARM WATER AND GET A NAPKING AND I STARTED TO RUB IT AND THE CRUST CAME OFF WITH SOME BLOOD STAINS OR SOMETHING. I CLEANED IT OUT THE BEST I COULD BUT THE THING WOULDNT GO BACK IN. SO I LEFT HER IN THE SINK ,RAN TO MY ROOM CLEANED THE TANK TOOK THE SAND OUT AND PUT PAPER TOWELS IN THERE.

Oh boy...

There's not much you can do at home. If an organ prolapsed, you need to rush the little thing to the vet. He could have a parasitic or bacterial infection, impaction, be dehydrated, an accident happened, or even lack of calcium.

Your vet can tell you which organ prolapsed, and give you a treatment. Keep him moist when you take him to the vet.

Keep the organ wet with a paper towel soaked in sugar water or milk and get to the vet asap
