A BE KIND TO PETS Veterinary Educational Video:

The owner thought the bleeding from the back area was due to bloody diarrhoea. It was a traumatised male organ bitten by the other two female sliders housed in the same tank. Amputation is advised. The owner decided on treatment rather than euthanasia. 

Day 5 of in-patient treatment. The slider's male organ shrunk when given an injection of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory. It was greyish and tattered. It was pushed back inside the vent and a rubber band cranial to the vent was fitted to prevent prolapse on Day 2. 

As at Day 5 (see another video: Male Organ Bite Injuries. Pt 2/2, the slider is active and has peed normally when held up. But no appetite at all. Syringe feeding is advised. This case did not need amputation of the male organ. Appetite will return but we do not know when, hence syringe feeding daily (Video Pt 2/2.)
