Pacman after a cloacal prolapse

[FrogMom1010]

My Pacman ingested some bedding and ended up having a fairly large prolapse of his cloaca. He passed the bedding but had over a half an inch of cloaca hanging out of him. I warm bath soaked him three times in sugar water for 20mins each time. It shrunk the prolapse a little bit but not much. I used a lubricated q tip and carefully got it back inside of him. I have never had this happen before. He is now in a quarantine tank on a damp towel and has a water dish. I still see a teeny bit hanging out of his rear... My questions are:

will it it heal on its own?
how does the cloaca stay in place anyhow?
will it reattach itself to the inside of the frog?
do I feed him this week? If not, when?
he has only been on crickets dusted w vitamins and calcium. He is about 3 inches.

Sorry to hear about your frog. There is a treatment you can try that may fix the prolapse. You can use either method:

Method 1: place frog in a sterile tank, add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to 1/2 cup of spring water at room temperature and mix well. The frog should remain undisturbed for 2 hours.

Method 2: instead of sugar water, use Pedialite and follow above instructions.

This really works, however in case it doesn't, the frog needs to see a vet ASAP.
