Kendrick, ?? I'll give it a try. I'm also looking for a decent vet. All the cahin stores (Pet smart, Pet Co, etc) seem to only cater to mammals and sometimes birds.

I've never had this happen with my animals so I'm hesitant to reply. I was hoping someone with more experience in this subject would reply. The usual treatment I've heard about is a soaking in a sugar or salt solution. Via osmosis the water in the hemipenes leaves and shrinks the hemipenes so that it can be slipped back into the body. Here's a link with info for iguanas, but it's the same for geckos and even birds.? ? http://www.anapsid.org/prolapse.html? ? Of course, I should add the usual advice to consult a vet.? ? good luck and let us know how it goes.? ? ? >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [gecko]Leopard gecko problem? >Date: Sat, 08 Sep 2007 08:49:07 -0400? >? >? >Hi,? >?
