we really need a wider sample set to be sure all the cases of yellow bumps we are seeing are the same bacterial infection. we have info but we need to be sure with a few more samples before i can post more info. we do not need your whole tortoise unless it has passed and you would like to send it out for lab testing in which case please message me and we will set this up for you,
we can now use a sample biopsy where a small piece of a lump is removed and then sent to the lab for the same types of testing. this is very important as we are trying to pinpoint a proper treatment and to know exactly which anti biotic is actually effective,
the bacterial infection that is causing this is systemic and by the time you see them on the skin they are already in the body, we have found the granulomas in the major organs.
if you and your vet can help figure this out please ask about doing a biopsy, the lab does not pay out to the vet but will do its testing for you to figure this out. this looks like something specific and if it is its not good.
if your vet can do this for you and you want to help everyone figure this mess out please let me know you will have the biopsy done and i will get you all the proper info to give your vet about where and who to send the sample to.
we would like at least 5 people who can send in samples.
