Help, turtle nails, turtles have nails

Hello, the turtle's nails are bleeding, first of all, it is time to disinfect the wound

Use a cotton swab to disinfect the wound with alcohol to keep the wound in a dry state That is to say, there is no need to bandage, if you have Yunnan Baiyao (not a spray, it is a powder bottle), you can apply it to the turtle's finger

For a period of time, the environment where the turtle lives should be well cleaned Since the Burmese tortoise likes to crawl, try to make his living environment as dirty as possible

Because it takes time for nails to grow, and the foods that promote nail growth are some foods that contain calcium If the turtle can't change its habits and likes to eat a kind of food, then you should buy some calcium tablets, and then buy some vitamins D and E are not expensive, all about 15 yuan (calcium tablets are more expensive), so that the turtle's wound can be demobilized quickly

The place to clean the turtle should be noted:

1) Burmese tortoises prefer warmth and are sensitive to cold, and are especially sensitive to temperature changes. Temperature not only affects the metabolic rate of turtles, but also affects the frequency of foraging and predation, so attention should be paid to temperature control in daily feeding. Temperature refers to the ambient temperature of the turtle's life, when the temperature is 19-30 °C, it can be fed normally, and when the season is exchanged, the feeding food should follow the principle of less than more.

If the temperature drops suddenly after feeding food during the day, it should be warmed in time, otherwise, it is easy to cause indigestion of the turtle and cause the turtle to suffer from gastrointestinal diseases.

2) Burmese tortoises live on land, and their feces, urine and bait are left on the sand, so it is necessary to do a good job of hygiene. The sand in the breeding area is disinfected with ultraviolet light every month (to remove the turtles) or completely replaced (suitable for places where there are few turtles), and the drinking basin, feces and bait are cleaned in a timely manner every day.

3) In daily feeding, the management and feeding of turtles require managers to be serious, careful and cautious, check the turtle's activities, eating, and feces every day, and keep a diary. Unhealthy turtles should be separated in time and kept in isolation.

Don't touch its nails, you trim its nails and trim the cat's nails The consequences are the same, that's a tool for it to eat, you can tear the meat apart, don't worry, if there is a real injury, give it some medicine, it should be nothing.

Their nails are stiff and sharp, which can protect themselves and assist in feeding. There are nerves and blood vessels on our fingernails.

Turtle nails do not need to be trimmed because they wear out as they move, so they do not grow too long.

When raising turtles in captivity, it is best not to trim their nails so as not to hurt their blood vessels and nerves.

Turtles don't need to cut their nails because their nails can be shortened on their own. As they crawl and hunt, they wear down their nails, so their nails are at a more suitable length. However, turtles raised by humans are not able to touch the rough ground, so they grow longer.

Even so, keepers should not use scissors to cut their nails because they also have nerves and blood vessels on their nails, which can cause injuries to the turtle if they are not cut carefully. If they have long nails, you can often let them crawl on concrete floors.

Turtle broken nails**.

If the newly broken nail is bleeding, stop the bleeding with Yunnan Baiyao, after the bleeding stops, povidone-iodine or iodophor is disinfected with erythromycin ointment, take the medicine 1-3 times a day, dry raise it in a feeding environment of 25-30 degrees, try not to soak it in water (it is easy to get infected in the water for a long time), feed it with a water cup or take a short bath twice a day (10 minutes each time, and apply erythromycin cream to the affected area before bathing to waterproof), you can feed it when you take a bath, if the newly broken nail bleeds, stop bleeding with Yunnan Baiyao, After the blood stops, povidone-iodine or iodophor is disinfected with erythromycin ointment, 1-3 times a day, dry raised in a feeding environment of 25-30 degrees, try not to soak in water (it is easy to get infected in water for a long time), feed water with a water cup or bathe twice a day for a short time (10 minutes each time, apply erythromycin cream to the affected area before bathing for waterproof), you can feed when bathing, insist on 5-15 days, depending on the degree of injury.

If the finger is already infected and swollen after the finger is amputated, insist on applying erythromycin cream, and the swelling will generally go away after two or three weeks.

After cleaning, if there is bleeding, first use Yunnan Baiyao to stop bleeding, and then disinfect erythromycin paste with povidone-iodine or iodophor every day, apply medicine 1-3 times a day, and dry raise in a feeding environment of 25-30 degrees. In the first 5-7 days, it is best not to soak in water, feed water with a cup, and then bathe twice a day for a short time (10 minutes each time, and apply erythromycin cream to the affected area before bathing), insist on 10-30 days, depending on the degree of injury. Oral antibiotics for 7 to 14 days should be considered if appetite is desired, and for 7 to 14 days if food is refused.

If the new tissue at the root of the severed finger will close the root of the finger, and the new nail cannot be broken for a long time, you should consider doing a small operation and opening a small opening to help the nail grow smoothly. After the operation, attention should be paid to preventing infection, stopping bleeding, disinfection, and erythromycin cream, and the feeding method is the same as above.

Disinfect with light salt water to avoid wound infection, bask in the sun, and feed a little better
