Re: is something wrong with Vlad????

There is a very good chance he was preparing to musk you. I'm not saying "don't get a vet check", but they often do that when they are very unhappy being handled. This is not uncommon for stressed ATB's. He needs to feel secure and be eating before you handle him.

Sorry for the double post

Re: is something wrong with Vlad????

can you post a picture of the prolapse ?

best to soak him in a tub with sugar water until you see a vet

if you don't keep the prolapsed tissue moist it will dry out and die

just mix some sugar with water and stir until the sugar dissolves

put around a half inch to an inch of water in a tub and soak him in it

then put him in a tub with some white paper toweling thats been soaked with sugar water

the important thing is to NOT let the prolapsed tissue dry out

let us know how it goes at the vet please

^^^^^
that said the first thing that i thought when i read your first post,was that he was about to musk you ?

all the best shaun
