    Concern with juvy mohave

    So my wife and I noticed an issue and wasnt sure if it would warrant a vet visit or not. It doesnt seem to be bothering him. It has been somewhere between popped out and almost back to normal. Movements have been normal as well. Hasn't eaten in two weeks though. Anyways here is the picture.

    Agree, looks like a prolapse. You'll want to put him on paper towels if you haven't yet, and the sugar-water paste is a good one to use. You'll need to make sure to keep it moist while it heals. If it begins to show sign of infection, get him to a vet asap.

    Re: Concern with juvy mohave

    First I want to say thank you for the help with Mojo. I ended up taking him to the vet. The vet said it was a prolapse and an infection. The infection cleared up and was scabbed over for lack of better terms. Vet said to soak daily. Unfortunately the lil man passed away in the middle of the night. Tough loss here in the Erickson household.
