The flaking started off more subtle and a vet told me to use diluted betadine, brushed along scutes once a day for two weeks. It didn't seem to do anything.
I tried applying coconut oil to shell every couple weeks which got rid of the ashy color but Tort ended up starting to smell like old coconut oil and I think it mostly just masked the issue.
Now the dry flakey appearance has spread all over his shell. There are some spots that look like they are separating. Vet was very honest about not being an expert on Tortoises so I'm hoping to get some advice on here.
Thanks for any help you can give!
