HI EVERYONE!
Yesterday evening I noticed my 1.5 year old gopherus agassizii tortoise had a swollen cloaca. I palpated the area and there does not appear to be anything hard stuck inside. He or she is still able to pee as far as I have seen (haven't seen them poop first hand but there are poops in the enclosure), is eating normally, and is active as usual.
Any advice on what to do? Should I make an emergency vet appointment? Please weigh in!
