Thanks folks

I think upping the temps have already helped, they don't sound as wheezy at night, and they are just eating it straight off the pellets which is a relief as I wasn't sure if I would get them to take it as they are too timid to hand feed from me. they are still scooting about and are in and out of their water dish, so am feeling really positive that they'll be right as rain

I hate it when any of my babies are sick

It is awfull when they are ill, I have had problems for 9 months with mine and it was complete hell! My vet will not gibe baytrill to any tortoises anymore necause of the reactions they can have but both marbocyl and amikin hasve worked well in the past. Hope they make a speedy recovery!

They are both doing very well now

Upping the night temps to 30 oC has massively helped (thanks Danny!) as I'd only had them at 25. They are def a lot less snuffly at night and are still eating their meds, good girls

Thanks for your comments everybody!

Thanks!! They are in isolation in my bedroom, and there is the odd little snuffle at night, but nothing as bad as before I put their night temps up til 30

Am so relieved
