Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't vitamin injections generally not needed and can cause more bother than good?

there is so much conflicting advice on feeding and veternary care though isnt there, these people feel they are doing the best for thier tort as they know no better, i was in a pet shop yesterday which was selling horsefields and hermans and they had a list of foods to feed which comprised of, carrot, caui, brocoili, lettuce, apricot and fruit.!!!! so a lot of people are getting the wrong advice.. iam so glad they found fred id have been frantic.
