    You have an anti-inflammatory drug like amoxicillin, dissolve the powder of a pill in a liter of water, (about a large bottle of Coke bottle) and then soak the turtle in it for 24 hours, mainly to play an anti-inflammatory role. As for putting salt in the water, I don't think there's any need, your turtle isn't a turtle, right?!

    The white substance in the eyes still needs to be applied with eye drops, and it is normal for the turtle to refuse to cooperate, you have to understand it, and the action should be as light as possible. Tell you a way to make the turtle become obedient. You first push the hind legs and tail into the shell with your hands, and then block them with your hands, if your turtle is fat enough, its head and forelimbs will not be able to completely retract into the shell.

    Apply a cotton swab with erythromycin eye ointment to the gap between the eyes twice a day. Don't pull the eyes too hard, that will hurt its eyes, (remember, don't put the turtle back into the water just after the ride, it will wash off all the eyes).

    It is best not to use a plastic stick like a supermarket cotton swab, the cotton on the cotton swab is too hard, and you need to use a medical cotton swab, which is sold in pharmacies.

    The adhesion of solid ointment is better than that of liquid, and it can be absorbed through the eye**, which will have a little effect.

    After a day or two you're using eye drops, it should be fine.

The third is the physical problem of turtle seedlings, which are prone to white eye disease due to poor constitution and low resistance.

    3. Prevention. 1) Improve the physique of turtle seedlings. Try to buy turtle seedlings that hatch naturally enough days before hatching, and have a healthy physique.

    2) Disinfection and sterilization. After the turtle seedlings are hatched, they should be professionally disinfected, sterilized and maintained, and they should be regularly disinfected, sterilized and prevented in the follow-up breeding process.

    Four**. a) Isolation. Sick turtles are taken out, isolated from other healthy turtle seedlings, and fed in special pots**.

    b) Eye drops. Use chloramphenicol eye drops or chlortetracycline eye ointment to drop (liniment) the eyes of the sick turtle, 1-3 times a day, 5 days as a course of treatment, depending on the severity of the disease, 1-3 courses of treatment.

    It is the white eye disease of GG, which is mostly caused by the unclean water quality of feeding.

    Don't worry, you can drop human eye drops into the eyes of gg, and then put them in water half an hour after dropping the drops, add less salt to the water to eliminate bacteria, and GG's self-healing ability is very strong. If it is not too serious, dry culture can not be considered, and dry culture in summer is easy to dehydrate the GG.

    Let GG get more sun (avoid exposure in summer) and keep the water clean.

    The water level in the tank is kept at the point where GG stretches his neck and nostrils can expose the water surface, and a stone is placed in the water to let GG dry his back.

    It's good to feed once a day, and the specific amount is mastered so that GG can eat it within half an hour, and if you can't eat more, it will affect the cleanliness of the water quality.

    The food of turtles is relatively extensive, mainly animal food, plant food, compound food three categories:

    1. Animal food. There are mainly fish, shrimp, earthworms, mealworms, snails, mussels, animal offal, etc. Leftover chicken and duck can be fed to the turtle.

    2. Plant foods. Mainly bananas, corn, soybeans, wheat, greens, etc.

    3. Compound foods. It is mainly made by combining animal foods with plant foods and processing them. If it is well prepared, this food is more nutritious and balanced, which is more beneficial to the growth and development of turtles.

    Observe whether the eyes are white and swollenIf there is a turtle in you, it should have white eye.

    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 may be blind and breathing may be blocked.

    The outside of the eyeball is covered by white discharge, and the eye 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 symptom at the beginning of the disease, and if no action is taken, symptoms will soon appear in the other eye**:

    1. For mild to moderate infection, use chloramphenicol eye drops during the day once an hour, and apply erythromycin eye ointment at night. Oral azithromycin. 2. For severe infection, it is recommended to use injectable antibiotics.

    Topical chloramphenicol eye drops and erythromycin eye ointment.

    Advice: Do not try to peel off and cut off the congested, whitish, thickened white membrane that covers the eyeball from the infection, because it is the instantaneous membrane in the turtle's eye.

    If necessary (after a few days of injectable antibiotics), smooth forceps can be used to gently scrape and clip off the yellow pus or abscess that is not easy to drain on the surface of the conjunctiva and transient membrane. When cleaning the yellow pus or abscess between the instantaneous membrane and the cornea, the cleaning method of pushing, squeezing and clamping is used, and the operation must be carried out with extra care. The infection, blood-congested, whitish, and thickened transient membrane covering the eyeball, under the action of antibiotics, will slowly ** return to a normal state.

    **Option 1:

    1.Soak it in a strong tea (listen to the turtle seller).

    2.Experience: I tried this method, and after soaking it overnight, I was able to heal the turtle's eye smoothly, but this method sometimes fails, and sometimes it is repeated;

    **Option 2:

    1.Use chloramphenicol eye drops, three times a day (according to the degree of serious illness, but not more than five times), alone, remember not to be exposed to light, in a dry and cool place;

    2.Baby turtles need water a lot, unlike big turtles, who need to soak in water more often a day (about five times).

    3.If you have a normal appetite, you will be fed in water, and if you have no appetite, you will be fed by artificially. But pay attention to the amplitude, it is best to feed turtle food during illness;

    4.One week is a course of treatment, if the condition of the baby turtle improves quickly, use another course of treatment, if there is no improvement, change the dressing;

    5.Experience: When the first method is ineffective, give it a drop of chloramphenicol, the effect is obvious, but it is very reluctant to feed;

    **Option 3:

    1.Alone, mracillin (or.

    amazodone) solution. Cone turtles use 20 mg at a concentration. Juvenile turtles use 30 mg liters of adult tortoises as young tortoises. 40 minutes each time, once a day for 3 to 5 days;

    2.Chloramphenicol should still be used for the eyes, three times a day;

    3.Feeding method according to 2;

    Experience: The feeding problem of the turtle is more difficult, and it is very difficult to swallow, so I have to soak the turtle food and break it and put egg yolk powder on it, and slowly fill it up, after two weeks, the eyes of the baby turtle finally improved, and the rest is the nutritional problem.

    White eye disease, don't worry, it's okay... Bask in more sun, and it will be fine... Erythromycin ointment, I have used it for the little turtle, and the wound is very painful, if you must use medicine, just use one, don't use several.

    People who can raise turtles, the kind that have been raised for many years, never use medicine... The harm of medication to the turtle is very great, as long as the turtle basks in the sun more, ultraviolet rays will help you disinfect and **, and calcium supplementation, the effect of medication is fast, but the damage to the turtle is great, bask in the sun, let it recover naturally, and the physique will naturally be good in the future, if you use the drug, enter a vicious circle, continue to get sick, and finally die... That's what I've experienced in my practical experience ...

    Therefore, it is not recommended that you use drugs**, it is recommended that you use the method of basking in the sun...

    If you raise a turtle, don't get too dirty and feed pork, bask in the sun, and don't change the temperature too much when changing the water, so you have a good chance of avoiding getting sick...

    I have raised turtles for many years, and I have never used medicine, at most I use alcohol and salt water to disinfect it, and I just bask in the sun. The experience on the Internet is basically medication, and my practical experience is the sun, you can refer to it.

    Just pay attention to the water quality and don't feed pork. Do not worry. When it's ready, it'll be lively again... Wait for it.,I'll love to eat.,Rarely eat during illness.。。。

    A month ago and a month later, the paws and eyes were bad, just basking in the sun, it was much better, and it is estimated that it will be healed in three months.

    Most of the tortoises are not sick and dead, they are healed...

    For conjunctivitis, you can use anti-infective or anti-inflammatory eye drops, such as levofloxacin eye drops, or tobramycin eye drops, one drop at a time, four times a day, while paying attention to the eyes.

    The water should be changed frequently, the water should be kept clean, and nutritional drugs should be fed on time to improve the turtle's own resistance. Turtles that are already sick should be kept separately.

    For mild turtles (which can still open their eyes and can actively eat), the turtle can be soaked in low-concentration salt water, or raised in 15 milliliters of nitrofurracillin 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 antibiotic drug solution (containing 500-1000 units of antibiotics per ml) for more than one hour every day, and then applied with antibacterial eye ointment to the affected area, 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.
