Hi,
I have a 7 year old hermann tortoise called Hilda that is currently suffering from shell rot and so isn't in hibernation.
I got home from school today to find her almost gasping for air whilst pulling her head forwards and she as repeatedly wiping her mouth on her arms.
Hilda has dressings on her shell because of the rot and so i am unsure whether or not I should soak her incase I worsen her shell rot.
Please help
