You might have read where I have a 5-6 month old baby that has a very soft plastron, and was possibly having an eye issue as well. I have been putting Neosporin around his eye area at the recommendation of another member, and he seems to be having less issues with this one eye.
If he were to ingest some Neosporin while eating, or while going into his water dish (some might get into the water) and drink it in, would the bacteria in his gut/intestinal tract be diminished to some degree?
If this were to be a possibility, should I offer him some poop from a tortoise (redfoot) I am 100% certain is in fine health to possibly get some good bacteria/flora/fauna (whatever it may be) introduced back into his intestinal tract?
Kind of an odd question, but since they all eat poop anyways, there must be something to it. Not sure if this might be a good thing or not?
