Prolapse

A prolapse is when internal tissue (part of the gut, or a hemipenis) protrudes from the vent — always an emergency that needs an exotics vet straight away.

Keep any prolapsed tissue moist and clean and get to a vet immediately; it can often be resolved if treated quickly. This is strictly a triage-to-the-vet situation.
