Abstract
Chelonians, including turtles, tortoises, and terrapins, are commonly housed in zoological collections, kept as companion animals, and present to wildlife rehabilitation centers. Although the shelled anatomy may present some challenges, these species benefit greatly from veterinary intervention. Common reasons for presentation in an emergency setting including cloacal prolapse, respiratory signs, and trauma.
