It begins with 'B'

Before the posts vanished, I noticed on a few threads that you guys use something, that I have forgotten the name of! It was a medication, and I think you could apply it to the nose if they had snuffles, and could be administered to the tortoise's skin if it had scraped itself. Please could you remind me of the name - and also tell me the best place to get it? Thanks!

Obviously if tortoise was sick I would go straight to the vet, just wondered if it was something I could keep on standby.

I think the thing your thinking of is baytril.

Bayril for runny nose

Betadine for cuts

Thank you for that. In the future, do you think the Shelled Warriors shop will sell Betadine or is it something that can only be obtained from a Vet?

also for RNS
tobralex (tobramycin) or vista (neomycin+methasone)
can be used
