Terrible turn of events
Hi all,
Thank you for your kindness. We were shocked by the news that shortly before our arrival to the clinic, Camo had died in recovery after his surgery.
We're crushed and heartbroken.
Many tears :(

Good news!
We got Camo to Dr. Fitzgerald at Alemeda East, and right away he said, "we can fix him right up. No problem." He said that it is a prolapsed hemipenes. They will shrink it down today and then put it back in and add a stitch to keep it in. We will pick him up at 4:30 and he will be...
Can't find vet tonight
We're going in to see Fitzgerald at Alameda East first thing in the morning.
Hang in there, Camo! He's moist, warm, and we'll run out the door in the morning. I'll let you know...
Regarding the 3/19 issue
Thanks for including that info. He had improved shortly thereafter, and has been doing fine until now.
Does a prolapsed hemipenis look like this (in extreme cases)? Maybe there's a better chance if that can be amputated. I hope so!
Thank you
I think both the hemipenis (both sides, just slightly) and the bowel is prolapsed. There are distinct separate parts, but the pictured portion (light and dark red sections) is all one contiguous tract.
The lighter section is quite transparent and is closest to his body. Then...
Just discovered this terrible situation.
We have a feeling there's nothing the vet can do - or can they??
We're really hoping he can pull through this :(
2 year old male cham
Please let us know.
Camo is a 2 year old veiled. He's had this out for a couple of days, and has us worried. We've misted it and tried "helping" it back in with a Q-tip, but no luck.
He did have a few large super worms, so we're wondering if he's a little impacted.
What should we do? See pictures...
Thanks...
