On Oct 1, 2016, the red-eared slider's anal area is re-stitched again to prevent the rectal tissues from coming out from the cloacal vent. The stitch will remain longer, at 8 days. He is warded at Toa Payoh Vets to recuperate and regain his appetite. 

Follow up on Oct 25, 2016: No more rectal prolapse after the 2nd stitching which was not removed for 8 days.  The cause of rectal prolapse is not obvious or known in this red-eared slider.
