About a month ago, a post came through the MTR listserv about a young leopard tortoise with a penile prolapse. The tortoise was scheduled for amputation the following day and the owner was fearful it would not survive the surgery. MTR accepted the tortoise and successfully replaced the organ without any unnecessary anesthetics or organ removal. Shaka, is now doing quite well all around and is now ready to go back home.
Each year MTR accepts turtles and tortoises and offers assistance to the sick and injured free of charge. Shaka is one example of the work MTR does everyday. Before and after pictures are available in the files section at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Maturtlerescue/files/Prolapse/
Shaka's owner, Susan Tracanna is an artist has donated an original art piece called "Ten Turtles" for raffle. Inspired by her visit to MTR, the piece is done in acrylic paint and the dimensions are 16" x 20." The fore front picture is a charature of "Molly" a female leopard tortoise that has eyes for Shaka. The rest of the turtles and tortoises are others that are here either awaiting a new home or permanent residents.
