Ok... I'll rephrase it... if you see blood through the scutes or the tortoise is wheeping blood through the scutes or the attach point between the skin and the shell the odds are very good that the tortoise is septic.
In my experience those odds have been running 0.
>>I guess we're on the same track. But the point I was trying to get across is that blood under the scutes doesn't autimaticaly mean septicemia. People see blood under the scutes and immediatly think of septicemia, which is not true. Its a sign of shock but not necessarily septic.
