I'm very sorry to hear of your current experience with trying to care for your boxies.

Based upon the information which you supplied and lack of information, I can only comment by saying that you need to find a vet that has herp related experience, the HANDS ON kind.

2 cubic ml of anything injected in a creature that weighs 50 grams alone would kill it just based on the volume, you sure you have that right?

Find another vet that has worked turtles and torts before. Tell us a little more about what the problem is and we can help you formulate the right questions to ask.

Ciao'

Giovanni
