The areas you are referring too on the X-ray are caused by the overlapping of different bony structures in that area, so they appear more radiopaque or 'white' on the radiograph.

I would suggest that a blood sample and repeat faecal sample, including examination of a fresh wet prep for protozoa, would be strongly advisable, you should ask your vet about this.

I wouldn't dose with metronidazole 'just in case'... check for parasites first, and treat if they are there.

Hope that's helpful, good luck with your tort.
