    Using chlorhexidine 2% to treat shell rot.

    Aw thanks so much Yvonne you’re right he did have an injury in that spot a few years ago where part of his shell was eaten by rodents. He was treated by a vet and over time it grew back. He is not eating right now so that made me think they were connected. Our weather has been so bad lately...

    Hi thanks for the reply, this is a photo of the area where his shell has come off do you know what water ratio I should use to disinfect? Thanks

    Using chlorhexidine 2% to treat shell rot.

    Hi, first time on here. My tortoise has developed shell rot and I’ve read about using this but can’t seem to find any advise about how much to dilute it. Does anyone know the right ratio of water and chlorhexidine? Thanks in advance.
