Prolapsed Penis

[Chubbs the tegu]

Thanks everyone for the good wishes, AB is alive, semiunreponsive, but his eyes are bright and follow me. And he does change position. I called a friend and she will sponsor the Vet visit and x-rays. He has an appt tomorrow. I have to drop him off at 8:30 am

Great news!

 

[KronksMom]

Good luck!

Great news!

I know you are being nice. But that pretty much is outa character for you. I'd rather have your 'take no prisoners' attitude

Looking forward to hearing how he is doing. Keep smiling and think positively Maggie3fan!!

It's just so damned frustrating. This is so embarrassing for me, I know I am certainly no expert, but I do have some years of hands on experience. So I told my exotic Vet all about the prolapse and how I manipulated it back in, and how it has stayed in since then, and how I expected a bladder stone...blah blah blah...his penis didn't go back in because he is so full of poop there was no room. She says he is constipated as hell (that's a DR term) I am giving up on offering advice any more. So bottom line is he's full of sh*t

What treatment was prescribed by your exotics vet for this problem? Just curious to learn as much as possible from this experience of yours. Mineral oil enemas plus mineral oil by mouth have worked in similar cases I have seen over the years.

Good luck!

See if he will eat some watermelon Maggie. Make a bath from Calendula Tea and soak him a long time. These remedies have great success in relaxing the ureters and urethra so stones can pass more easily. I hope your fellow improves.

Yea...and I've read of some herbal teas that can help dissolve them. Sorry to Maggie for jumping in here. Now back to reading.

You better keep offering advice @maggie3fan! All this proves is no matter how much know, no matter how much you work with the animal, there is always something more to learn. Really glad to hear that AB will be fine.

I could not be happier than to hear that it’s something that you can fix. Please keep us updated.

Well, my cure for constipation is Linzess. But for the tortoise, in about 15 minutes, is gonna get a syringeful of Dawn liquid shoved up his a**.?

 

[Yvonne G]

Substite the Dawn for mineral oil. If he eats at all you can spread mineral oil on a leaf of romaine and roll it up from thr side, like a taquito, then hand feed it to him.

(Note o all about mineral oil: DO NOT EVER PUT ONLY MINERAL OIL INTO A TORTOISE'S MOUTH! Because the oil is smooth and silky the tortoise won't feel it and it's possible he MIGHT aspirate it into his lungs.)

So, why do I get the sinking feeling that this thread is going to end with a picture of a giant turd....

(Happy to check back in and see that he was only "mostly dead" and has been upgraded to maybe OK)!
