Nicky what vet did you use , can you take some pictures maybe email them to vwplaygirl so she can upload them on here so we can see the problem.
You say your tortoise has had RNS for 6 weeks well this is a real major issue if this is correct as the disease will set in and prove extremely difficult to shift without specialist care.
Your tortoise needs more than injectable Baytril injections at this stage you will certainly need a nasal wash of either f10 or an antibiotic based one as well.
