:pkay My turtles sometimes get algae on their shells but its really hard to get off with a tooth brush can I use some kind of liquid betadine or something b/c when I took my turtle to my vat he gave be some kind of blue liquid stuff but I dont know what it was it worked though any ideas?

Ok....More than likely your vet treated your turtle with providone iodine or a ketoconoxole-containing ointment. The iodine would be your best bet. Use it carefully and in moderation. I would recommend that you contact your vet to verify that the iodine is what he used. Hope that answered your question...
