Camaleão com bolsa de carne. O que é isto?

[ruka_retriever]

Boas
Um amigo meu mostrou-me um camaleão caliptratus femea que desde hoje de manha apresenta uma especie de bolsa de carne saida junto ao inicio da cauda.

Ele tem 2 camaleões (casal), será algo a ver com reprodução?

Já pesquisei na net e até agora não encotrei nada sobre o assunto.

Se alguém puder ajudar, desde já o meu obrigado

É bem possível que seja um hemipene ou qualquer outra coisa idêntica. Por vezes o esforço para obrar faz com que saiam.
Não pode colocar uma foto da protuberância em questão?

Estou á espera de fotos para colocar aqui.
Apenas estou a tentar ver se aparece luz ao fundo do tunel para ver se aparece alguma informação sobre isto.

How do I deal with Rectal Prolapse?

It does happen but with a frequency that makes it of little concern. It turns out this is not a problem I’ve had to deal with. If caught early enough, it can easily be fixed. A piece of stool caught in the rectal tissue can look like a full-blown prolapse. First be certain that it is not a piece of stool that became lodged. After a bowel movement, if a small piece of stool becomes lodged in the end of the bowel (that is outside the body where there is no muscle to facilitate its passage), this can easily be massaged out and what is left is tissue (almost paper thin) that immediately retracts.

In the case of a baby prolapsing, the first thing to do is place it in about a quarter inch of water with a ball of paper towels inside to create a little island for the animal to lie on. Allow about 15 min. for the animal to drink, should it need to, and then add sugar to the water. After the animal settles on the paper towel “Island”, pour sugar directly on the rectal tissue and paper towel. The tissue should retract on its own overnight. If it doesn’t then it must be pushed back in manually. Rinse the tissue of the sugar prior to insertion. Keep in mind the tissue you’re working with is like a sock inside out. The tissue further out is what goes inside the deepest. Break off the end of a Q-tip (the paper kind not the plastic), smooth out the end by spinning it in some Neosporin on a table top, and gently push the bowel back inside by placing the Q-tip in the rectum. You may need to insert the Q-tip up to an inch to get the tissue back inside. If the animal immediately pushes the tissue back out again, a very small piece of electrical tape will be needed to hold it in place. After the tissue is back in, place the tape over the vent. (It is a better idea to place the tape right above the vent; this will keep the tissue intact but still allow fluid to pass). This should not be left on for more than 12 hours; otherwise the animal will not be able to pass fluids. (Generally within 12 hours the swelling subsides and remains intact) Then remove the tape using a Q-tip with vegetable or mineral oil.

In the event of an adult prolapsing, the tissue will have to be reinserted and may need a purse string suture to hold it in place. It’s best to have this done by a qualified veterinarian. It’s a good idea to hold off on food for a few weeks until feeding resumes, but be sure to give smaller food items. I believe there are a number of causes of this problem. Most of the prolapses with which I have assisted were from imported animals. Parasite loads were likely to have been the dominant factor. I believe dehydration and stress can contribute to the problem. An animal that is stressed does not drink normally. Also be sure your animals have not gone into the “Zone”, a state in which they simply don’t move. Pull them out and make them move around a bit. Offer them some fresh water and/or put them back close to the water, or soak them to be sure they are drinking. *Please note this is for use in an emergency, a qualified veterinarian should always be consulted when possible.
