Take him out of his enclosure and place him in a warm bath of De-chlorinated water with 5 drops of honey disoved in the water. Let him soak for 20 minutes or more. Be sure to keep the water warm if possible. You may have to create a hospital tank that has no substrate, that is if you even use substrate for your frog. The Honey bath will help with the swelling. You can then use a Q-tip with the cotton coated in KY Jelly to gentley push the prolaps back in.

I do not own a Budgetts and am no expert, but this is how to treat a prolapse inhouse. Try this and keep me posted. Do NOT try to feed him.

You need to change meals for him for a while. Use ground up earthworms, mealworms or superworms (without heads) and syringe feed. Softer and easier to eat and pass the better since it can reoccur. I also believe you should wait a week before feeding any meal.
