I got the result back today and it is bacterial infection on Pineapple's plastron that was causing the shell rot, the doctor gave him a shot today(painful to watch that :cry: ) and told me to treat him well with betadine everyday, and will need 4 more shots after this. I just hope Pineapple will get well soon.

Glad to hear the problem was identified. What kind of shots is Pineapple getting?
