Hi everyone! I have a young yellow foot tortoise and red foot tortoise (both about 2 inches long) that have something wrong with them and I'm not sure what it is. I noticed about a week ago that my red foot had a super soft tummy so we took him and the yellow foot to the vet. Long story short, they're both very soft and the red foot is showing some pitting. They've both been to the vet a couple of times now, but my red foot is still getting worse after about a week of treatment. What I'm doing:
-tank is disinfected every day
-substrate is changed daily (am using carpet so they're not sitting on damp substrate)
-keeping the humidity low about 30-50%
-they are getting betadine scrubs once a day
-amacacin injections every 72 hours
-baths every 72 hours
They're eating and are acting normally but im wondering if there's anything else I could be/should be doing?? I really don't want to lose my munchkins
Side note: the yellow foot was a rescue so I know she's skinny and has poor shell quality etc.
