I just picked up my new torts and the Redfoot came with shell rot. the guy said the previous owner kept the tortoise in standing water for 1 year! He said I just need to wash it once a week?!
I am planning to clean with Betadine and begin treatment tomorrow, gonna let it settle in a bit.
question is, is Silver Sulfadiazine cream 1%, OK to treat? I have an entire tube of it left from a turtle, I imagine it would be fine but thought i would check first. Vet is closed on Sunday or I would check with her.
Will post pics tomorrow!!
