Last week a big bag that was red popped out from my tortoises behind,I took it to a vets a got her registered,he said it was a prolapse and he needed to operate and pop it back in,he did the operation and twice within the week,it popped out through the stitch,the vet said its normal and ignore it,I took her back a week later to have her stitches took out,at this time her tail was very swollen,she hadnt ate very well or had normal poos,he took the stitch out and something popped out again,he said it was her penis,after telling me her prolapse was probably caused by her trying to get her eggs out,,it cost me £72 and I took her home,the next day,it was still there,I took her back and another vet looked at her,she said the end had died and I needed to take her to a vets an hours drive away from me,I did this and the vet that was a proppa reptile vet said it needed sorting and fifi may not pull through,,,she did but half her insides had died and had to be removed,she had septasemia and was very poorly,I had to pay a further £350,she is now on pain killers and antibiotics for a week,I'm happy to say fifi is back to her happy normal self but I would like some help as in where and how can I report the vet who first treated my tortoise as it has cost me a lot of money and I was finished up from work on Friday and I'm a single parent to 3 children,,I would really appreciate any help,,thanks
