leopard gecko problem

Question
me and my girlfriend rescued a leopard gecko from a school by were i live about 5 to 6 months ago. she had eye caps when we got her and we removed them with success. we had to force feed her for a few weeks but then she started eating well. but today she looks like she is pooping out a red sack. she is hissing but she looks to be breathing normaly. i have searched and searched for what it could be with no success. im thinking maybe a group of blood mights around that area is causeing it or maybe she is pregnant and its a sack of eggs? im not sure about what gecko birth looks like. she is in with a young male. about 5 months old himself. she is feeding them crickets, wax worms, and meal worms. she is using calcium sand which from what i have been reading isnt such a good idea. i dont get paid till thursday and it is sunday. im wondering if there is anything i can do to help or am i going to have to take her ASAP to a vet for help? my girlfriends mom said it looks like shes pooping out her body organs so im sure this isnt good... any idea whats going on with our gecko?

Hello Roland,

How old is your female leopard gecko?  
If she is under 2 years of age, then she is too young to have been put in with a male.  She "could" have eggs, I am not sure.  However, the ailment that she has is called a Prolapse.  It could be a rectal prolapse, a colon prolapse, a uterine prolapse, or intestinal prolapse.  This can be caused by nutritional problems, egg binding problems, or calcium deficiency issues.
Do you supplement calcium supplementation on a regular basis?
She could definitely be impacted from that sand.  So, the first thing you need to try to do is soak her in a sugar water solution.  Take a couple of tablespoons & dissolve the sugar in warm water, & then add cool water to it.  Soak her in that for around 20 minutes, 2 times a day.  This can help reduce swelling in that area.
Get some KY jelly or vaseline to put on the area to keep it moist & hopefully from not becoming necrotic.  
Also, be sure to take the sand out & put in paper towels to keep the area from getting sand & dirt on it.  
Try to get her to a vet soon.  This really is an emergency.  If you can't make it until thursday, you can treat for an impaction which would be to give her soft foods such as chicken or turkey babyfood, along with sugar free applesauce & a drop of mineral or olive oil to help out.  Mix all of that together & give with a plastic syringe or a plastic dropper by dripping it onto the end of the nose so she can lick some of that off.  

Let me know how she is doing.
