HELP: Budgetts prolapse...!

[toxxxickitten]

It may if you buy the liquid calcium, but of course he needs Vitamin D3 also which you can get a calcium powder that used D3 to properly metabolize the calcium to his bones. It has been done to treat frogs with calcium deficiencies, but in an individual medicated bath not the water the frog lives in.

I have both calcium with D3 and no D3. I also keep a few reptiles that I use to dusting for too. I have him in a honey bath now. I hope it helps!

It should bring the swelling down. Once its back in don't feed him for a few days to make sure all is well and when you do feed him again make sure to only use night crawlers until after his next poop to make sure everything is working properly and he doesn't get another prolapse. This way he is passing something soft.

I got his intestines back in now. I was about to post what I should do next. Thanks so much! I freaked out a bit when I first saw them hanging out a bit. My poor Sharky!

Keep a close eye on him. He should be fine. Just give him time to heal. If he is of a good weight he should be ok not eating for a few days possibly a week just to be sure he is healed.

I put him back in his enclosure and he went straight to his driftwood to hide. Poor guy. I'm thinking it's a male? I'm not sure how to tell the gender of a Budgetts. I see like...what I think are like nupital (sp?) pads, but they are on the back feet instead of the front. Not sure if that's what they even are? Anyways...He is definitely of excellent weight...maybe a little chubby as I tend to overfeed. >_<

Budgetts like Pyxies and Pacs should be chubby and round. He should be fine. I doubt you really over feed him because when it comes to my Pacs I feed them how ever much they want and usually stop when content.
