@casportpony have you ever seen this?

Can you put the lil one in some warm water maybe that will help seems putting them in water get the poop flowing. Might help with the prolapse too.
 
No, never seen that and not sure how I would treat it. I guess I would start by tring to get the penis back in. Your suggestion of a warm water soak might help too.

@countrygirl2513, is a vet an option? How is he today?
 
Try soaking him with warm water, while your at it try feeling what's wrong; if you feel any bumps or anything sticking out, and if you don't feel anything, I recommend going to the vet.
