When the terrapin was placed in another tank containing 2 bigger terrapins, he was attacked and there was lots of bleeding. He came with a traumatised bleeding enlarged penile organ. This organ was replaced inside the cloaca using purse string suture closing the cloacal vent for 24 hours. Another terrapin had a recent rectal prolapse and was treated similarly with the purse-string suture for 7 days. Both terrapins survive and the owners are happy.
