Hello! I just registered in the forum, so I already apologise for any mistake or inconvenience that my "newbieness" may cause.
Last year, at exactly this month, I was travelling and fell in love with a tortoise in Morocco. He was so tiny and I fell so bad for the way people were handling it there, I decided to save his life! From there, my life with Blanka started...n
Being a new mum, I knew I had loads to learn. And I struggled a bit at the start, I admit, but now I can't deny I'm proud of myself. Blanka is around 1 and a half year old, I always check up on his weight, size, his diet and calcium supplement that he needs to grow a strong and beautiful juvenile.
But yesterday Blanka scared me. I woke up and went to talk to him. When I picked him up, I noticed he had a bit on hair and feces tangled up his bottom. I gently pulled it and noticed something else there: a piece of tissue, pink-ish/re-dish, in a "shell" format. I instantly took him to the vet, who didn't know what to do since she had never seen it before.
She says it's not an intestinal prolapse, nor a penile one. Bur then... what is it? Should I be worried? He doesn't stick it outside more than a third of an inch, but also doesn't put it back in.
I'm panicking already.
I really need help from experienced "parents".
I'm really sorry for the massive post.
Thanks a lot anyway for taking your time to read it.
