Cal King Prolapsed Umbilical Cord

Ronin3886 Nov 18, 2013 11:09 AM

Just hatched out a cal king and its umbilical opening is not closing and the intestine is prolapsing. I read about a sugar water solution to help shrink the intestine but did not have and ratio of water to sugar. I am in need of a treatment advice obviously a vet appt is scheduled but until then is there anything I can do. Its on moist paper towels now.

Thanks,

Matt

I'm not a herpetologist, but I also can't see how sugar and water would help anything in your situation. Be careful.
