[pinkynbrain]

i gave brain a bath this morning and it looking like he was having trouble pooping like he was half way through it and just stayed that way so i put him back in his tank to see how he would go, ive come back a few hours later and it looks as though he has split his bum open or something because there is a fair amount of pink (what looks to be like skin) hanging out near his bum and i dont know what has happened. please help!... ive just given him anouther bath and its got worse so i put him back in his tank. I hope he doesnt die, i really need any help i can get as i dont live even remotely close to a herp vet

What you have going on is a prolapse. I could be wrong on the spelling. Soak your beardie 2 to 3 times a day and it might go back in. You may need to start looking for a vet. Sometimes these can get serious. Ive only had 1 dragon have it and it took a few days to go away. I soaked her everyday and it went in on its own. goodluck and keep us posted.

I dont know if I did this right but this link should give you some more info.

nevermind I just tried it. Sorry. Type in prolapse under any seach engine on any dragon forum and you will get some info

I agree you should look for a herp vet. Can you post a pic for us?

 

[renich]

If you really can't get to a vet, do you have any pet stores that are reputable? Or a breeder close by?

Be cautious of the pet store. They often give incorrect information in the states.

I still would like to see pics to give us further evidence that Tom's diagnosis is correct.

 

[TheWolfmanTom]

Pics would be wayyyyyy helpful

 

[renich]

Also, what is his diet?

 

[TheWolfmanTom]

Im guessing we havent heard anything?

 

[pinkynbrain]

ok, found an emergancy vet who specialises in lizards. Brain is doing ok for now, the vet pushed the prolapse back in and hes ok for the moment. So at the moment a pic isnt goin to be helpful, thanks anyway

 

[renich]

Glad to here it. Keep us posted.

 

[renich]

[pinkynbrain]
