Care of Water Turtles

Prolapses

A prolapse occurs when a particular organ" turns inside out" and protrudes through its usual external opening.  In contrast to this situation with land turtles, prolapses of the uterus or intestine are rare in water turtles.  If you suspect a prolapse, keep the involved organ moist and protected, and seek veterinary attention immediately.
