<H1>Betadine for wounds?</H1><DIV id=Qtextbox><P><STRONG>Author: slotha</STRONG><BR><BR>A lady said that she uses Betadine for any wounds that her turtles get. My every now and then get little wounds on them from rocks and things and i was wondering if its a good idea to use this? How is it applied and where can it be brought from? Do they charge like a wounded bull for it to?

<br>

Cheers

You can get it as a solution which i think u would want for a turtle (i use a cream for gravel rash after falls off the bike).

<br>

<br>

apply using a cotton bud.

<br>

<br>

which is better to use..

<br>

<br>

let the turtle dry out before applying, and then let the betadine dry as well before putting back in water

<br>

<br>

Its also can help if you have a turtle that keeps nipping at others paint the areas with betadine and they dont like the taste and usually leave them alone ..
