sick turtle

I have an ill tortoise, its lower shell turned a bit red about 3 weeks ago, no eating, urination or defecation, what should I do? We gave it marbocyle 2 times, according to vet, but he turned out to be not specialised in reptiles, then changed to ceftizidime, here's a photo before it got sick...

I have 2 yellow bellied pond sliders, one is a female and one is male. My female turtle laid quite a few eggs for the first time directly into the water, which I read is stressful for them. Afterwards we moved her into a small sand enclosure for a little but she very much didn't like it, didn't...

My three-toed boxie has had severe muscle atrophy for most of this year - the cause has remained unknown. Long story short, he was living in my parent's backyard most of his life. One day I discovered him and he was completely unable to walk. I've taken him to THREE different vets. The reptile...
