I bought a new Russian Tortoise about a month ago to go with my one I've had for about 5 years. Anyway, about a week ago, her bottom beak started to fall off so I took her to the vet and he stitched her up. A few days later, the other side of her beak started to come off so I took her back to the vet and he had to amputate the bottom beak.
She's had a rough few days and isn't really eating or drinking when I soak her. I have a few questions. What is the best way to make sure she doesn't get infected? What should I feed her and how do I make sure she eats? How should I go about taking care of her wound, like cleaning it and what not. I have some antibacterial ointment I've been putting on it, given to me by the vet.
Thanks
