Please help!!!

[Pascal18]

About a week ago our veiled chameleon, Pascal had this weird worm looking thing poking out his rectum. It is completely stuck! We have tried to soak him in warm water but it doesn't work. With little force it causes him to bleed. He cannot poop and he's getting weaker. Please help!!!! What is this!!!!

looks like maybe a vet is on order? possibly a prolapse, buy could be hemipene? keep it moist with neosporin and continue to use warm water.

that is a prolapse.

Whether its a hemepene or not, it is still a prolapse.

you need to put KY jelly on it, and get him to a cham vet asap.

if it dries out, it will have to be amputated.

It's already dried out pretty bad, it's been like this for almost two weeks. I would of already of taken him to the vet but money is an issue :/ thanks for the replies, really appreciate it.

if that cham does not get to a vet now, he could get infected and die.
if its been out tha long, it HAS to be removed, if you want him to survive.

talk to your vet about a payment plan, or something, but it has to be taken care of, he is suffering this way.

not good. Please work something out with the vet and get him fixed up!

Took pascal to the vet this Morning, it was a hemipenes, it was prolapsed and since it's been out and he's not getting enough humidity it dried out and is decaying BUT he is getting surgery first thing tomorrow!
Thanks everyone for your help!
