Quite sad to hear :( Props to you for doing this, you have done great!

My veiled cham prolapsed one of his hemipenes a while back. My vet isn't a reptile vet, so she didn't want to attempt surgery to remove it since we couldn't get it back in. We tried sugar water and all kinds of other stuff. It eventually just died and fell off. That was six months ago, and he seems no worse for the wear. He still eats and poops with no problems.

Just keep it as clean as you can and keep trying to get it to stay in, but it isn't the end of the world if it doesn't return to normal.

Wishing the best for this little guy, seeing his long recovery had me in tears, thank you for your and your wife's dedication!
