The turtle s eyes can t be opened

This may be white eye disease, so you need to soak it with oxytetracycline.

1.White eye disease.

**: Due to the excessive feeding density, the water quality is not changed in time, resulting in deterioration of water quality and excessive alkalinity. The onset season is mostly in spring and autumn, and the spring after overwintering is the peak epidemic period.

The disease is mostly seen in Brazilian painted turtles, turtles, spotted turtles, brocade turtles, etc., and the incidence rate of juvenile turtles is high.

Symptoms: The eye area of the sick turtle is inflamed and congested, gradually turning grayish white and gradually enlarged. The cornea and nasal mucosa of the eye are eroded due to inflammation of the eye, and in severe cases, both eyes are blinded and breathing is blocked.

The outside of the eyeball is covered by white secretions, and the eyes cannot be opened. Sick turtles often rub their eyes with their forelimbs, move slowly, stop eating in severe cases, and finally die of exhaustion due to weakness complicated by other diseases. Some turtles have only one disease at the beginning of the disease, and if no action is taken, symptoms will soon develop in the other eye.

Prevention and control: The water should be changed frequently, the water quality should be kept clean, and nutritional drugs should be fed on time to improve the turtle's own resistance. Turtles that have been sick should be kept separately, and the original breeding container should be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for more than 30 minutes for disinfection and sterilization.

For turtles housed in the same tank, if it is found that they already have white eye disease, other ones can be soaked in nitrofuracilin (or furazolidone) solution. This is both a preventative measure and can be used as an early stage**. Juvenile turtles should use 20 milliliter concentration, and juvenile turtles should use 30 milliliter concentration for adult turtles, and the length of immersion time depends on the water temperature.

Soak once a day (40 minutes) for 3-5 days if necessary.

For mild turtles (those who can still open their eyes and can actively eat), the turtle can be soaked in low-concentration salt water or kept in 15 milliliters of nitrofuracillin or furazolidone solution, and it can be cured in about a week. Or soak the liquid medicine with a concentration of 30 milligrams for 40 minutes a day, and soak it continuously for about a week to heal.

If the turtle is seriously ill (refuses to eat and can no longer open its eyes), it should be soaked in an antibiotic solution (containing 500-1000 units of antibiotics per ml) for more than one hour every day, and then applied to the affected area with antibacterial eye ointment and placed in a dark place to promote the white secretion to fall off as soon as possible.

For turtles with severe symptoms (eye erosion), first remove the white matter and white necrotic epidermis in the eye, and continue to clean up if there is bleeding. The turtle is then soaked in a liquid containing B vitamins and oxytetracycline. The liquid medicine is prepared in the ratio of 1 2 tablets of oxytetracycline and 2 tablets of vitamin B per 500 grams of water.

Sick turtles may lose their eyesight.

If the ** green turtle is **, the eye area should be smeared with 1% furazolidone solution, and the method of full body immersion should not be used.

Or dissolve in feeding water with Medicin, 1 piece of glass goldfish tank per mouth, and this method should be used for green turtle disease. Streptomycin can also be dissolved in water, so that every 1 mg of water contains 100,000-200,000 international units, suitable for ** green turtles and other small water turtles and turtles disease.

Mild white eye disease, most common in juvenile Brazil.

Severe white eye disease, which can lead to blindness in both eyes. Hopefully, thank you.

Buy oral ciprofloxacin, dilute it in a small container, and put the turtle in it for two hours a day.
