So I haven’t noticed any blood today, but he is being extra lazy today, didn’t eat very much at all, but willingly ate the critical care, I’m not sure if he’s not feeling well or if he’s just cold because it has gotten a little colder out.Hello,
Yes, since he is young & needs his nutrition, the Critical care should help a lot.
How is he doing today? Is he still having blood or has that essentially gone away now?
I hope that he is doing better. Keep us posted on his progress.

Would these Be goodHey. Seeing your enclosure the lighting, UVB most importantly, needs to be upgraded right away. Compact bulbs do not make enough UVB. You need a florescent tube style light. Some good brands are Arcadia T5 12% with a reflector hood or Zoo Med Reptisun T5 10.0. Bulbs that are T5 are better than T8, they look thinner but they are the newest type of UVB tube light.
Screens block up to 30% UVB. Keep that bridge you have so he can get close and bask within 6-8 inches of the light through the screen.
When you get to the vet ask them what they think is causing the prolapse. Prolapse can be related to calcium deficiency. Upgrading the UVB and proving enough calcium supplements, is vital. Get a new UVB lamp ASAP
The vet might recommend blood work to check blood calcium and other chemistries. If you do any test know you have a right to see the full report. Depending on the office it may take a few days for results. Have them email you the full report. I worry the vet didn't do something to help you get in sooner for a prolapse condition!

Please place it on top of the tank w/ it being unobstructed and the piece of decor directly under it 12-15 inches -- you can place the fixture vertical or width wise across the end of the tank or middle up to you and just have your basking area either in the middle or end of the tank placing the screen butted up to the UVB fixture -- that way you can place the basking lamp on the screen next to the UVBI just read that this Weill be too much for him,
