Penis Prolapse in a Red-Eared Slider (Trachemys Scripta Elegans)

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the treatment outcomes of a rare occurrence of penis prolapse in a turtle. A 10-year-old terrapin (Trachemys Scripta Elegans), weighing 300 g, was brought to the Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Surgery Clinics with complaints of blood stains in the area where it was found. The clinical examination revealed that a mass hung out of its anal area, and this mass was detected to the penis. The mucosal structure was alive and no necrotic tissues were observed. The turtle was anesthetized using an intramuscular administration of a combination of medetomidine and ketamine HCl. The penis was washed with antiseptic solutions, followed by a cold application and tissue rejection applications. The penis was then fixed to the mucosa using a tobacco-pouch suture. In this process, no complications relevant to urination and defecation were encountered. In conclusion, surgical intervention in penis prolapse case in this turtlewas found to besuccessful with no complications.
