So I'm at work and my wife called me to tell me that our new girl, Jade, has something wrong with her. She e-mailed these pictures to me. What do you think it is? And what can I do to make it better? When I get home, I'm going to put her in a cage with no mulch but I don't really know what else to do for her. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like a prolapse to me. I would take it to the vet as soon as you can. But for right now I'll send you some links on what you can do until you can bring him to the vet. Good luck and please keep us posted.

Definitely looks like a rectal prolapse. Contact your veterinarian ASAP but in the meantime get her off the mulch and keep it moist and clean. It is imperative that you or your wife keeps it moist or the exposed tissue can dry out. If it dries out, her prognosis will be guarded for a full recovery.

Please please keep us updated, I know these things can sometimes fix themselves if taken care of and I'd like to know if there's been any recession.

I just wanted to update everyone. The prolapse is better it was one of the cases where it got better on its own. I talked to Bobby he said it was a pretty bad prolapse but as usual he is standing behind his product 100%. So now i just have to keep a good eye on her and hope it don't happen again. Thank you again everyone for all the help.

That's awesome. What'd you do to treat it?

She actually fixed it herself, I still gave her a bath with some warm sugar water.

Just for future ref, I think it's supposed to be a cool sugar bath - not warm.
