She doesnt seem to be in any pain, and she is very lively , eating etc and has been mounting the other females a lot! Mebbe that is a clue?
Not sure if I should do the sugar water thing if its still up like this tomorrow?
Any advice gratefully received thanks |
Yes a prolapse so soaking in sugar or glucose would help it go back in.
Maybe she has been straining to lay eggs and not found a suitable nest.
What you dont want is for the prolapse to get infected, so bathe and maybe put some Vaseline or the like on it to help keep clean. If it does not disappear then maybe a visit to a vet would be in order.
I know at least three of my females are eggy. But nowhere for them to lay unless it dries up some. Mine normally lay outside:0)
