Dragon ill, something red coming out of anus

[jpcs]

Hi,

I have a bearded dragon for about 6 months, but today I noticed something weird. There's something red coming out of its anus, and I have no idea of what it is. I live in a small town and there isnt a veterinary specialized in reptiles, I don't know what to do, do anyobody now what it is, or could help me?

It's a prolapse. This can be a fatal condition if left untreated. Fortunately, treatment is fairly simple but must be done with care. See this link for detailed information: http://www.anapsid.org/prolapse.html

I picked her to bath in cold sugared water and it was normal again. But I bathed her anyway

If you're sure of gender, she may have prolapsed if she was constipated and pushed too hard while pooping. It may be good to give her easily digested, soft foods for a while. Also, if she ingested any substrate, that could cause her to strain as well.

If you're not sure of gender, this could've been a hemipenile prolapse, which is not uncommon. That's great news that it solved itself, I would just monitor closely for a while.
