Earlier today (about two hours ago now) I noticed a bloody mass by my Hermann tortoise's anus. I'd never seen something like it before so I searched online and believe he has an intestinal prolapse. I think he may have eaten some of the substrate in his box but I'm not entirely sure. I have been soaking him in warm water for 30 minute intervals and then taking him out and putting him on a paper towel to dry for the past few hours. However, the swelling doesn't seem to be getting anything better. Should I take him to a vet? I'm unsure of what to do.
