My turtle has been old and out of energy lately, why is it as titled Thank you

** (1) White eye disease **: Due to the high density of artificial breeding, causing turtle trauma or deterioration of water quality, the juvenile and juvenile stages of Brazilian turtles are more likely to be infected with white eye disease. Symptoms:

The eye of the sick turtle is inflamed and congested, gradually turning grayish white and swollen, and the cornea and surrounding areas are eroded due to inflammation, and the outside of the eye is covered by a layer of white discharge. After the onset of the disease, the turtle often rubs the eyes with the forelimbs, can not eat, and in severe cases, the eyes are blind, it is difficult to breathe, and the body is thin and dies. Prevention and control methods:

Strengthen feeding management, focusing on disinfection. Strict disinfection of turtles and turtle water bodies and eating utensils; Strengthen the nutrients of turtle feed and enhance turtle disease resistance. Diseased turtles were soaked in 40 ppm erythromycin solution for 60 minutes; Apply chlortetracycline eye ointment to the eye area of the diseased turtle.

2) Gastroenteritis **: Turtle disease is mostly caused by feed deterioration or contamination of food utensils and water bodies by E. coli and other pathogens. Symptoms:

Sick turtles have dull eyes, no brilliance, emaciated, do not like to crawl, like to drink water, diarrhea, and stool is snotty, this disease mostly occurs in spring, summer, and autumn, and is more prevalent in the summer high temperature season. Prevention and control methods: improve water quality, keep water fresh, feed fresh feed, and strictly disinfect eating utensils.

The sick turtles were soaked in 30 ppm erythromycin solution for 60 minutes, and an appropriate amount of oxytetracycline was mixed into the feed and fed to the sick turtles. (3) Nail rot **: After the carapace is damaged, bacteria invade the wound and cause the carapace to rot.

Symptoms: decay of the superficial carapace, or formation of burrows or even visible muscles, lack of food, lack of movement. Prevention and control methods:

After soaking the turtle with 40 ppm potassium permanganate solution for 15 minutes, a trace amount of potassium permanganate crystal powder was gently applied to the lesion of the diseased turtle. (4) Overwintering death disease **: Mostly due to lack of nutrition before wintering, weak physique and unable to resist long-term cold invasion and death.

A small number of postpartum parent turtles and turtles with chronic diseases die due to overwintering. Symptoms: Before wintering, the turtle body is emaciated, the muscles are shriveled, and the sick turtle is picked up, and the hand feels very light.

It often floats on the surface of the water and does not move. Prevention and control methods: In the southern region, starting from July to August every year, especially after the brood turtle spawning stops, gradually strengthen the feeding of concentrate feed such as meat, add an appropriate amount of trace elements, so that the turtle physique can be restored, and enough nutrients will be stored for winter.

Sick turtle grasps it**; Juvenile turtles should take certain heat preservation measures for winter. (5) Inside and outside parasites**: Mostly due to long-term habitat in water, resulting in ticks, fleas, trypanosomes, etc. parasitic on the body surface or internal organs of turtles.

Symptoms: Insect body on the surface of the turtle, emaciation.

This needs to be checked with elimination:

1. External environment: whether the room temperature is too low or the water is not changed in time, causing the turtle to hibernate or the water quality is not good and affects the energy;

2. Internal factors: whether the baby turtle is sick, or is pregnant and ready to lay eggs, causing physical inconvenience and decreased activity;

You can put it in a sunny place to bask in the sun,

Turtles get sick easily!

It is recommended to give anti-inflammatory drugs to the turtle! And anti-inflammatory to the container!

Quite simply, the place where you feed the turtle is not not disinfected, the practice is as follows! Warm the opening with a small version of edible salt and taste slightly salty.

You can soak the turtle breeding place for 3--5 minutes! Also, you can put a little sand in the place where the turtle is raised, so that it does not leave it in the water often! If the turtle is sick now, you can feed it a small amount of salt water to disinfect It will generally not die because it is strong in life Hehe, take good care of it, and feed the turtle once every 3 days.

The little turtle is too cold! Soak up the sun!

Then I don't know, my turtle doesn't have the spirit. Woooooooo
