This morning I found my GF's 3Toed Russian Boxie having a bad morning. His rectum was inverted to the point of forming 2 tight bubbles and bleeding sometimes.
Never saw this condition this bad.
I took him home to keep an eye on him till we can get him to the vet tomorrow.
Soaking for an hour and still no excretions. Do boxes not benefit from regular soakings? He has relaxed now and retracted the tissue and sometimes inverts it. Must be painful right now.
I'll soak again later.
Is there a good online source of husbandry information for 3Toes?
Gonzo is at least 50 according to the last vet when he was rescued. Same vet said he's a Russian 3Toed Boxie. I'm thinking Terrapene carolina triunguis because I cannot find a Russian reference.
Any assistance for his recovery will help greatly.
