Hello all!
This is my first post in the tortoise forum. I have an Eastern Box Turtle who has a mild case of shell rot. Last time he had this I used a 4% chlorhexidine liquid for cats and dogs and diluted it. After soaking him I let him dry, put the dilution on a cotton ball and rubbed it on the affected areas. I let this dry and repeated the step with the cotton ball two more times. Then I applied Neosporin ointment. This time I was looking into wipes that looked like they would be easier to apply. The product I am looking at has 2% chlorhexidine wipes. Only thing I'm worried about is if it is still too strong... does anyone have experience with this?
