Hello, newbie here with a question about my TTBT. She has a rubbed spot on one of her back feet. She gets a scab on it, but when I soak her, the scab falls off. Also, she acts as if the scab is pulling or irritating her and will favor the foot until the scab falls off, and then she walks more normally on it. She is still eating fairly well, and using the bathroom when she soaks. She is not as active as she was, and after her soak and eating, she burrows back into her substrate and stays there the rest of the day. She also has a couple of rubbed spots on her plastron near her back end, which seem to be getting better. I can hear her scraping the bottom of her enclosure when she digs down, despite having 5-6" of substrate. I've been putting Neosporin on her foot with a q-tip after her bath. Any ideas/suggestions welcome as to the change in behavior or the abrasion on her foot.
