Prolapsed Hemipene!

Ed,
He has made it in with the Blast and copulated about 3 or 4 times. He has been in with about 7 girls this year (one of which will ovulate in the next week). So, at least if he doesn't ever decide to breed again, I may have a replacement for him in a couple months.

Thanks so much for sharing all this Tim. Always helps to hear how others have dealt with a situation.:salute:
Hope the viagra wears off and he's back to normal in no time:gj:

WOW!!

Sounds like your going to be hitting on some really cool stuff this year. Best of luck and thanks for sharing your experience. As always its sobering to see that someone shows how thing do happen.

again thanks for shareing. :D

I just wanted to take a minute to post an update after a week has gone by. I removed his bandaid on Sunday, and placed him on some paper towels. I think I am going to leave him on the paper towels for at least a month to watch his healing process. After looking at him yesterday, I have decided to remove him from the breeding program for the remainder of the year for his safety. I have a female that has ovulated from him, and has 9 eggs. So, we may get a replacement for him, but just in case, I may need him next year. His hemipene looks pretty good, but doesn't look like it is fully inverted. I am really anticipating the next bowel movement, as I believe that pressure on the vent will give us some better understanding of what will happen next. I will post some more updates in the future if anything changes.

p.s. I have not got up the courage yet to try and pop him and evert the pene, as I am not sure if it comes out, if it will go back in. Maybe after he has had several months to heal, we'll give it a try.

Here is a pictureof him on Sunday evening.

Nice work Tim, glad I'm not him, looks kinda sore.

Awww poor fella, that does look sore. Glad he's in your capable hands though.

Thanks for the information Tim! You should post your little @ home vet care on your website!

Actually my lazy butt has been working on a Grace page for about 3 months now. It's about 80% complete, but I keep putting it off. As soon as I get the Grace page done, I will probably do one on this as well. I have long been wanting to add an Articles page to the website, so that I could have a little more content (i.e. Care Sheet, egg incubating, the breeding process, etc.) Hopefully I can have all of this new content and new page built on the site by the end of the year.

Nice to see he's at least no dragging his stuff all the time..Hopefully a year of rest will fix him up. :D

did anyone else notice the nail trim? :D
