Hello. I have a 15 yo Sulcata, Dude. I have had him since he fit in the palm of my hand. He comes in and out of the house when he pleases. You can't tell a 70 lb tortoise banging on your door No. Nothing has changed as far as our surroundings. About 2 months ago, I let him in the house. He casually walks to the back bedroom he had claimed as his own, lays down, and goes to sleep. As we got closer to the hallway we started smelling something foul. It was/is Dude. This smell isn't from poop or urine, it's foul and it's from his rear end. I got a hold of a couple vets who said to wash him down with Betadine. I've done that. I've put peroxide on him a couple times a day, it fizzles and bubbles like crazy. I feel horrible. I'm not letting him in the house. He bangs on the door having a fit lol Then he leaves me a whole bunch of poop by the back door just to let me know how mad he is ? He is eating and drinking fine. Poop and urine are fine, but I know something isn't right. I know he shouldn't smell like this. Any help would be appreciated.
