thanks, I had him with 5 other turtles outside, i separated him once i noticed the problem. What are some other reason for prolapse so i can take all other precaution to make sure my other turtle don't get sick. His condition seems to be getting worse, he refuses food, i soak im in warm water all the time but he still wont eat or poop, and he looks terrible. Once i saw something that looks like poop, but i believe it was just bile from his liver that is naturally secreted to move things along .I went back and the vet "tucked" him back away. Can it be parasites or perhaps old age, he is an older turtle

thanks for the help, I have a really nice colletion of turtles and I dont want anything to happen to them.
