Red ear slider

Question
Hi I have a red ear slider don't know it's age or sex...it's been with me for about two years now. Suddenly I saw this thing producing but I m unable to make out if it's a intestinal prolapse or fanning or anything else. It's been 24 hrs that it's been the same, there was a little blood spoofing earlier but now stopped. Pls help me ASAP and if I need to take it to vet what needs to be do e because we don't have a marine or turtle expert here in India.

Answer
Hello Sulbha,

Do you have a picture of that by chance?
It could be a hemipenis prolapse possibly but not positive.
Are you providing a UVB source for your red ear slider, along with calcium?

What are the temperatures in the tank for him?
What do you feed him?
