I have a possible hermie

I have a two going on three week old nigerian doeling. At birth she appeared normal and for the first two weeks. BUT I wasnt really nosing around back there that much really. I did check her several times the first few days because I know how the sex change fairy can come. I just didnt think she came this late...
The days ago I noticed her vulva starting to point up. yesterday she had a very swollen hermie looking vulva. Now if she came out of the uterus this way I would say it is what it is. I just dont know what to make of it now though.
Her mother has a vulva that is somewhat shaped the same, but not this extreme. The doeling appears to be swollen in her pereanal area around her anus and vulva as well. When the vulva is spread there is no penis like object. When you press on the bulby tissue is is soft and collapses easy. Her teats are small but she is young so not sure if its normal for her age. It does feel like she has some tissue under the teats. I was actually trying to feel for undescended testes when I noted it. She acts like a doeling. She doesnt hump all day like her twin brother, she is more playfull and smarter like my doelings tend to be.
Only off thing it the shape of her thing!
Can anyone post pics of a nigerian doelings teats that are 2-4 weeks of age to compare?

Looks pretty normal to me....but how does she compare to the other doelings?

Since you said that she is swollen in the whole area, is she pooping normally? If she isn't, she could be having a problem and the changes are from straining to go.
