I noticed that my smallest tristis was acting a bit off today, and before I knew it it seems he may be experiencing a cloacal prolapse. Before it happened, he was basking a lot, then he moved away from the hot spot and sort of slouched there, straining. Red flesh began to extrude from his vent, and it stayed out. Next thing he did was rub it in the substrate and then he proceeded to vomit his dinner from two days ago. He seemed to be exhausted after that and the flesh has not gone back in, I can only assume that it's some kind of prolapse. It may have been from the large feed he had not long ago. I've removed him from his enclosure and placed him in a clean plastic quarantine type of enclosure with a hide and warmth.
Any advice on what I can do with him (that's the least stressful) until he can be taken to the vet? I'll try and get a picture.
