White Dog was helping Steve ready the yard for agility class and wandered over to check on Tortuga in his pen. "Somethings not right!" she barked, alerting Steve to come see. Steve and White Dog came in carrying the tortoise. "It looks like Tortuga is developing another case of prolapse," Steve said showing me the swelling tissue pushing out of the back of the tortoise's shell. White Dog agreed that we needed to give Tortuga a bath then put a sugar bandage on the swelling. Needless to say, the tortoise will be seeing Dr. Julia first thing Monday!
