I have some old tortoises that have bits and pieces missing from bashing on stones rocks etc and also from mating and to be honest I do nothing. As Yvonne says shell rot normally is underneath but I did take in one a few years ago that had it all over to the point the scutes were all peeling off and I treated it with dactarin (athletes foot cream) and it all came good and now most of the scutes underneath have grown back but the ones on its back are not so just bone. This tortoise although not looking good is now back up and running and breeds. |

Any shell knocks, I usually dab on some betadine and it does the trick.
