Prolapse - need advice

I have a 6year old female. She has layed eggs 2-3 weeks ago and seems to be getting ready for more.
Yesterday i noticed something sticking out her butt. I thought it was poop beacuse she poops 3-4 times a day before laying her eggs.
Today I realized its a prolapse. I have given her a sugar bath and vaseline.
I called the vet and there are no emergency vet available. I got a time to see the vet on monday. She will not be able to perform a procedure if needed, and there are no other vets on the island i live on.

She is having a black beard and im afraid that she is hurting. The first vet i talked to that did not have experience with reptiles sayd that she would help me if i needed to have her put down.

It feels awful to know she must be hurting and i want advice on what to do.
Do i keep bathing her and applying vaseline until monday and hope for a good result, or do i have her put down?

Coat it in honey, raw honey can help reduce swelling and fight infection. Keep her on newspaper or non adhesive shelf liner. Hopefully it will go back in, the honey is probably the best option for her.

Hello,

Just curious how your girl is doing now? Did you treat with the raw unpasteurized honey as AHBD suggested? It really does help with swelling & with infection, too.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
