Well im finding im in a situation. Maybe you some of you read that my turtle has eggs in her. I noticed that when she is water. I thought at first it was an egg coming out..

It is what i would say is an air sack that came out and went back in. Im not sure if that is a prolapse. I tried looking for info on just a bubble coming out the cloaca and going back in but couldnt find anything.

No pic cause shes done it like 5times and only for seconds.

I only know of penile and intestinal prolapse. Is she eating and defecating as normal?

Thats all i could find too, yep eating is good and defeacting is normal too.

Im gonna give her a couple days and then take her to the vet. I was thinking about it anyway so i could get an xray of her eggs for fun.

*UPDATE*

Wish i got a pic, went to the vet and came back with no answers. They werent sure either, they checked her and her cloaca is clear. They think it might of been a cyst.

Im susposed to bring them a stool sample and there gonna test for parasites. They were gonna do blood work but thats over $100 and if shes fine which now im thinking she is i dont wanna pay the money....but we will see

Maybe it's an placenta? How has her gravid behavior been lately? Maybe she's trying to pass the eggs too soon...
