I'm a usual reader to this forum, but I have never posted a thread... Until now!!
I may be on to something, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I've lost two reptiles and a lot of money to prolapses. One 20 year old red foot tortoise, and the other a six year old Nosy Be panther. Both were brought to vets who do not specialize in reptiles, they were operated on, and they never fully recovered. Today I faced my third prolapse, this time to my two year old male ambilobe panther chameleon. I decided to try something new.... I figured that preparation H shrinks hemroids, why not try it for his hemipenis? Before I applied it, he was agitated, digging, hissing, all unusual behavior. Ten minutes after the application, it reduced to half the size and he calmed down. I was able to get his hemipenis back in by pressing and holding it in until I felt a muscle retraction. I put him in a plastic bin for the night and hopefully it will stay in. Even if its not a perminent solution, at leat it can be used in those cases where you can't get to a vet right away. Hope this helps someone.
