Do you recommend a particular brand of bird vitamin?

I am heading to a pet store as soon as I get off work in a few hours.
Is liquid calcium glubionate Rx only?
Kyryah - thanks for the photo! I will look for those in my backyard...good thing we dont' use pesticides. You also answered my curiosity about their puffy eyes! Thanks!
I am doing the best I can...but I am worry about Heidi. She is not very reactive to anything, and I realized her bottom shell is not only soft, it is a little translucent... fingers crossed.

I just tried but can't really tell. That's a good sign I hope.
Skyler, I am so glad your DT made a full recovery! I hope mine will as well.
I just want to say to everyone here that I am very grateful for all your support! I can't imagine doing this without you all!

Many people on here say that once a tortoises shell goes soft they don't have much a chance. But this was the case with my tortoise, and the vet warned me he may not survive. But 3 weeks or so later his shell has hardened up and he is not only surviving but thriving! (Hopefully this gives you some hope, I'm not bragging about my tortoise, just saying it's possible they can recover)
Also, the pictures are soo cute! They look tiny, do you know how old they are??
