Prolapse!!! D:

[Lija]

It is not unusual to have a prolapse when a frog has parasites.

how big is a prolapse? Can you take a pic?

Will try when I get back, am running off to the store for non-flavored Pedialyte, newer Q-tips, more Neosporin (for frog use only), a small water dish with smoother sides, etc...

You may want to get some natural honey too and make sure you have sugar at home. Treatment and prognosis depends on a size of prolapse. It is very hard to advise without seeing it.

And some more coconut oil... Is Coconut Oil an Anti-Inflammatory? | LIVESTRONG.COM

[Lija]

It is believed coconut oil treats all sorts things, but it is not being approved or okayed to use for animals, therefore I don't reccomend it. Be very careful with any oils around frogs.

Well, I did it before I read this... however the prolapse seems to be less swelled and less angry colored, still nasty though... don't have sugar here as I am diabetic, I did get the unflavored Pedialyte. How much of that should I use? I got a small bowl that holds half a cup of water to the brim. i added a very few drops of the Pedialyte to this since I didn't know how muhc to use, but he hasn't gotten into the bowl yet. Will post screen shots from vid I took if sHEila before going to the store and after getting home (standing by)

Here's the pic:

Sry wasn't there earlier. You need sugar. Plain white sugar, make a strong solution and cover the prolapsed area. ! you can use sugar right on too. Sugar will reduce swelling and the prolapse should get in on its own. After the a an hour or so if it is not happening, put a frog in a water bath with a few drops of honey ( 20 min) followed by hydrolytes bath (20 min). Watch it, it is dangerous if it nkt retracted for longer time. You may need to go to vet to help fix that. For most frogs however sugar (more swollen) or honey ( less swollen) helps.

Soon as I saw this I ran off to the local cafe and ordered coffee with a "bunch of sugar packets" in a sack to go, then I got back here and made a really thick syrup by adding spring water to 4 packets of sugar and dripped some onto the prolapse using a syringe. He was sleeping but woke up when I opened the lid on the keeper. Now I have to dash off to my sister's for her birthday... was supposed to be there at 3:00 but my green baby comes first I couldn't get the honey because the health food store was closed, so will have to do the best I can with the Pedialyte and sugar... Thanks for the info <3

Oh poor baby I'm so sorry sHEila is not feeling well!

LIJA THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! We got home at 11:30 PM (way later than I wanted!) and I checked on sHEila immediately and... the prolapse had completely receded! He had soaked in his dish and left a little poo in there, and when I fed everyone else he seemed VERY interested. I went in the other room and he started calling, so I went in and fed him just one small soft wax worm, hoping it would take the edge off and keep him calm. I'm leaving him in the small keeper tonight and will see how he's doing in the morning before I put him back in with Jelly Bean, who kept staring out at the keeper as if wondering why her buddy was in there. I am SO relieved, but I will be keeping a close eye on this little guy.

Thanks again! And thanks too, Amy! ^_^

I would avoid feeding him anything for as long as you feel comfortable. It needs time to heal and you don't want him to have to pass anything at all. I have no idea about fasting and your coccidiosis treatments though, the vet who provided you with the medication should be able to help with this (of course they may also ask to see your frog as well).

Glad it went back in, and best of luck.
