    Blood found on Sulcata tortoise’s poop. Only in a small amount.

    Yes perhaps, but Id also like to add that he has been making a lot of breathing noises, grunting noises while he is laying down sleeping.

    Blood found on Sulcata tortoise’s poop. Only in a small amount.

    I today just barley noticed that my neighbor put a small cactus plant outside in the yard. I found it knocked over and eaten with chunks of it missing. Could this possibly be the cause of it? Could his cloaca or insides get cut from eating a cactus?

    Blood found on Sulcata tortoise’s poop. Only in a small amount.

    This is the first time I have seen noticeable, what looks to be like, blood on my tortoise’s poop. My tortoise is about 8-9 years old and has been doing fine recently, he has been acting normal and I think pretty healthy. It has only been today that I saw his poop about 40 minutes ago from...

    Yes they were’nt from preaches, but a small fruit tree that grows in my neighbours yard over the fence. They fall so he mustve ate a few.

    Is it safe to leave his penis out as is overnight? Hes already asleep and I plan to take him to the vet in the morning, I do not think I could use vaseline on him because hes tucked tail

    I also do not know if I could try and push it in, as he has the mass tucked underneath his shell, and I had tried to calm him while he was soakingto see if he release it, but to no avail

    I dont have mineral oil but I can try vaseline. What is the urgency of this, how long can it stay like that without becoming infected or sickly

    Possible Prolapse of Penis, Urgent Help (Sulcata Tortoise)

    It is quite common for him to show his penis and stand on it, and is usually acompanied by urine or wetness of some kind, as he has been doing for about a month now, its somewhat normal. I am mostly concerned about his penis’ tip drying out, popping, cutting off bloodflow, or some other atrocitites.

    Possible Prolapse of Penis, Urgent Help (Sulcata Tortoise)

    Today when I went in my backyard to check on him, I noticed a poop mostly comprised of pits and some wet stool in between them. It was not long after I saw him standing on his penis but keeping it out for longer than usual, then trying to pull it back in but the tip of his penis was still...
