The on monday start looking for a vet that you can take her to that will work with you.

i have EVERYTHING, and i put calcium on everything she eats... she is a picky veggie eater... and will only eat a little bit... but i always put it on the live things and she eats them .....Drache613":948c7 said:Hello,
Please soak her for at least 20 minutes in the sugar water to allow the sugar to absorb into the tissue. This is a very serious prolapse. I hate to say but most of the time with these types of prolapses unfortunately, if they are not treated, the dragon will not make it. The tissue will become necrotic & infected. It appears to be a rectal prolapse, or possibly an intestinal prolapse due to the size of it.
Do you think that she was trying to lay?
Was she having a hard time laying then?
How often does she get calcium? Do you have UVB light?

go with 1 tablespoon per 3 ounces of water if you prefer to measure. Using a syringe (needleless) irrigate the area repeatedly over. The sugar will draw fluids from the cloaca, allowing the animal to withdraw the organ. You can assist with a Vaseline-coated cotton swab.
If this does not help within 24 hours, your pet should be taken to a veterinarian (a follow-up visit is a good idea even if you are successful).

That is correct. You can do babyfood, with a drop or two of olive oil. Avoid fruits since they can cause too loose of stools & irritate the GI tract & lining which she doesn't need right now.
I really need to know the type & brand of UVB light you are using because there are some that are not very good. I ask because they prolapse only for a few reasons. The usual reasons are hypocalcemia, egg stasis, malnutrition which is or caused by low calcium, poor UVB exposure, poor muscle tone, dehydration. All of these reasons are common causes of prolapse. When they do not have adequate UVB lighting, over time, they cannot properly absorb calcium as well as other minerals & vitamins. Namely, when females try to lay & they are calcium deficient this is often the main cause of prolapse.
The only other problem would be an irregularly shaped egg that is blocking passageway for her to lay successfully. In this case, it is a major emergency as she will bleed internally from tearing that could occur from pushing so hard repeatedly. Obviously, if she is still trying to push with no success, then something is critically wrong. This is a problem that most likely can't be solved with herbal remedies unfortunately.
Try to get food & fluids into her. Also, mix up some calcium & vitamins with the food as well.
