Hi! My 4 month old sulcata tortoise seem to have a wound on where his yolk sac used to be. Please see photos. Any remedy for this? Or may I know what caused it? Is it contagious? I have 2 torts right now sharing the same enclosure.
I have contacted a vet, and was given first aid to apply betadine, and mupirocin cream on the wound while waiting for the next available schedule for visit. Unfortunately we do not have exotic vets here, just regular vets.
Additional info regarding my set up
Closed chamber enclosure
Reptibark substrate (currently changed to paper substrate as recommended by vet)
Humidity 70-80
Temp 90’s
Please help me out. I do not want to panic, but I am.
