Irritated bowels?

[Wasa77]

Hey all,

Is my Egyptian flashing me? And is it normal for the anus to be that pink? Poop has been solid and urates have passed cleanly, as far as I can tell. Almost 10 months old, I bathe him 3 times a week. I can provide any other info that might be important.

No, it's not 'normal.' Looks like the tip of the penis.

Not normal, that protrusion, penis? Is it always out like that?

 

[Wasa77]

No it’s not always out. I was bathing him and when I lifted him and checked his underside he started poking it in and out. I was under the impression that it was his penis tip. I am more concerned about the color of the anus being kind of pinkish. And wondering if it might be irritated? In the mean time I will start bathing him every day again, but any advice or insights are appreciated.

Not bathing, you will soak him for hydration. His cloaca does not look inflamed, irritated or bad. It looks a normal color, inflamed is a lot more angry looking. Is his penis still poking out today?

Yes, sorry for my poor choice of wording. It was his daily soak, and today his penis was not poking out. It was the first time I had seen him expose his penis, so I was concerned if it looked normal. Thank you for the follow up.
