Yesteryday when I was examining my tortoise, I noticed some yellowish area. It sorta look like splinttered wood. I'm not home right now so I can't provide pictures yet. But I'm guessing its either shell rot or fungus, those are the only possibilities unless thats just how the pastron looks. My other tort has VERY LITTLE yellow stuff as well. I'm not very sure if its any rot or fungus but it won't hurt to apply treatment just incase right?
I just want to be sure on the treatment. I'm gonna pick it up at CVS in a bit.
Its..
1.) Apply and scrub with Betadine 1-2 times right? Only enough to kill fungus since it prevents new tissue growth.
2.) Wash it off with Chlorhexidine.
3.) Apply 1% Clotrimazole anti-fungal cream
Right?
And you can pick all these up at a local pharmacy? Also do you just put the tortoise back in the enclosure?
