Question
I A A GECKO THAT SEEMS TO A PROLAPSE.  I CAN NOT GET TO THE VET UNTIL TOMORROW....I HAVE IT IN SUGAR WATER. WILL IT BE OKAY UNTIL TOMORROW?  IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD DO? PLEASE HELP...NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. THANKS, ANGIE

Answer
Hello Angie, the most important thing is you have a vet appointment. The veterinarian will be able to help a lot. Do whatever they recommended in the mean time.
Be sure the sugar water is cool and that the prolapse doesn't dry out.

I do care, but there isn't much else you can do. Here are a couple of links that may help.
