[FischerGecko]

Need some advice. Our family has had Buddy (leopard gecko) for about a month and a half - we are still learning - Buddy was passing a stool the other night and was having some difficulty passing the stool - the stool looked normal other than it was longer that usual, however I noticed a red/pink bulge at the gecko's vent area. Buddy passed the stool and I noticed that the bulge is still there at the vent area - do gecko's sometime push their intestines out if straining to pass a stool. I have researched impaction and this does not seem to fit the bill. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Sounds like a prolapse. Definitely post some pictures in the leopard gecko forum, you can try some KY jelly on the affected area to keep it moist until you can get your gecko to a vet. A change in diet/substrate is also probably necessary if he's having a hard time passing stool. If he's on sand, get rid of it and keep him on paper towels or tile. Does it have a humid hide/access to fresh water?
