What disease does the tortoise shell have, and what disease does the tortoise generally get easily?

At first glance, it is a case of nail rot, and it is okay to use chlortetracycline eye ointment, but it is better to use Yunnan Baiyao. Nail rot must be dried and raised, not water, otherwise it will not be better. When raising the turtle dry, you can wrap it in a damp cloth to prevent it from dying from drought, and clean the damp cloth and feeding container frequently.

My turtles have also had nail rot and I wash the damp cloth and tank every day. Nail rot ** is very slow, and my turtle is completely cured in about three months.

Nail rot: **: When the carapace is damaged, bacteria invade the wound and cause the carapace to rot.

Symptoms: The superficial carapace is decaying, or burrows or even visible muscles, does not like to eat food and rarely moves.

Prevention and control methods: soak the diseased turtle with 40ppm potassium permanganate solution for 15 minutes, and then gently apply a trace amount of potassium permanganate crystal powder to the lesion of the diseased turtle.

1.In the early stage of the disease, the symptoms are gray spots on the tortoise shell, and then slowly turn into flesh-colored or red lumps, if not timed**, the affected area will be infected and slowly ulcerated with a peculiar odor, and finally life-threatening. If the wound is not infected or worsened, it can be wiped repeatedly with iodine tincture or 1%-2% hydrogen peroxide, and then applied chlortetracycline ointment (anti-inflammatory) or Yunnan Baiyao (hemostasis), or Baiduobang ointment can be used.

Once every two days for one to two weeks. If the wound is infected or worsened, the outer skin of the affected area must be picked with a sterilized knife, and the blood or pus must be squeezed out before following the above method**, and the wound must be bandaged with gauze according to the condition of the wound. Once every three to four days for one to two months.

**During the period, it is not advisable to bathe or soak in water to keep the wound dry.

2.In the middle stage of the disease, the symptoms are the separation or upheaving of the epidermis of the affected area of the outer nail, and the patient is immobile or refuses to eat. The first step is to wipe a small amount of furazolidone dry powder or fill it with a straw and take amoxicillin tablets (20 mg kg) or metronidazole tablets (40 mg kg) on the affected area if it does not work, and at the same time supplement nutrients such as electrolyte mixture and special vitamins.

Method of administration: Find a very small container to dissolve the tablets in warm water, then find a straw for oral liquid, suck some (the amount of medicine is controlled according to the size of the turtle), use the tongue against one end of the straw, and insert the other end into the back of the tongue in the turtle's mouth (erect the turtle) to avoid the liquid from flowing into the trachea. If you open your tongue, the liquid will naturally flow in, or blow it gently.

This method, whether it is administering medicine or supplementing the turtle with various nutrients, will be more direct and effective than the effect of medicated baths and applying drugs and nutrients to food. But the only drawback is that it is not easy to open its mouth, and it can be used with a small non-metallic stick such as a plastic ear plucker or toothpick.

In the late stage of the disease, the symptoms are that the affected area has decomposed and even penetrated the tortoise shell, and the eyes are closed and the food is stopped, and in severe cases, death. After the second step, chlortetracycline is injected at a rate of 200,000 IU per kilogram of turtle body weight.

Note: Please refer to the first step for the method of trauma to the head, neck and limbs. Please use potassium permanganate with caution for trauma and nail rottenness, as improper dilution is easy to corrode the outer armor. Early detection and early **, stagnation caused the death of turtles.

Turtle rot is caused by unclean water quality. You can apply erythromycin (chlortetracycline) eye ointment to the affected area of the turtle, and then put it in water half an hour after applying the potion, three times a day.

Fungi, with fungal drugs, such as Daknin, dry cultured. Be patient with this disease, and it won't get better for a while.

Generally speaking, turtles are more adaptable and resistant to disease, and are less susceptible to disease. When breeding in captivity, as long as you pay attention to cleaning and sanitation at all times, and often change the water in the breeding pond, the turtle will generally not get sick. Sometimes, however, diseases and predators such as the following can occur

1.Colds, sluggish activity of sick turtles, bubbling noses, and frequent opening of the mouth can be regarded as a cold.

**Method: The turtle can be dissolved in water with cold spirit and analgin, and 0·2 ml of gentamicin can be injected into the muscle of the turtle's hind legs; Or inject 10,000 units of penicillin, and large turtles weighing more than 0.5 kg can increase the dosage to 50,000 units per injection. Generally, it can be cured after 3 days of continuous medication and injection.

2.Enteritis, this disease is mostly caused by intestinal bacteria infection caused by water pollution or feed deterioration. The symptoms are that the head of the sick turtle often looks left and right, and the stool is sticky and blood-red"and extremely fishy; Loss of appetite and emaciation.

**Method: Change the water and feed fresh bait several times a day; Intramuscular injection of chlortetracycline or chloramphenicol, each sick turtle per milliliter, and the injection amount of large turtles weighing more than kilograms can be increased to 1 milliliter for 3 consecutive days. and add a small amount of chloramphenicol or dysentery to the bait and feed it.

3.Mycosis is mostly caused by mold infection after the turtle epidermis is bruised, which is manifested as reddish-white epidermal necrosis and severe visible mildew.

Prevention and control methods: In the process of transportation, stocking, and transfer pool capture, the operation should be careful to avoid injury to the turtle body. If a turtle is injured before entering the pool, apply 1% malachite green ointment or sulfonamide ointment to the affected area.

Once a sick turtle is found, it should be isolated in time and disinfected with 20%-30% lime water; The whole body of the sick turtle is coated with purple potion for 7 days, and a small amount of oxytetracycline powder can also be added to the feed for 3 days.

Swelling of ulcerated lesions in any part of the rotten skin turtle, if not immediately, it will lead to death, **method: Put the sick turtle in water with a small amount of oxytetracycline, not too much water, soak for half an hour and then dry (not absolutely dry), or apply chlortetracycline eye ointment.

Turtles are prone to white eye disease, gastrointestinal diseases and ** diseases. White eye disease, which is generally caused by poor water quality, can be applied with erythromycin eye ointment, and the water can be changed frequently. Gastrointestinal diseases, generally caused by colds and environmental and dietary discomfort, you can exercise more to increase immunity, and usually feed some vitamin B.

**Disease, generally caused by poor water quality and decreased immunity, can be applied anti-inflammatory drugs.

Turtles are generally susceptible to white eye disease.

Your tortoise may have red nail disease, also known as red spot disease, red spot disease, abdominal carapace red and swollen disease, red abdominal nail disease, etc., his main symptom is to wear the tortoise carapace and cause local redness, swelling and inflammation in the horn carapace. Moreover, most of them are seen in the abdominal carapace with hemorrhagic plaques, which spread to the surrounding infiltrating type, and in severe cases, they can cause sepsis and death. Poor water quality, less disinfection, and less oxygen at the bottom of the water are prone to produce a large number of monosporus is the culprit of this disease, which occurs more often in May and June, and less in autumn.

You can use aeration and oxygenation to keep the water moving, especially in high-density stocking or small pools with poor water quality. Frequent water change is also an effective prevention and control method, which is more practical.

If your turtle is not Zheng Kai is very small, you can inject small noromycin, use 10,000 IU per 500 grams of turtle per day, and gentamicin can also be used, and the usage is the same. For severe turtles, it is best to pick the affected area with a needle, squeeze out the blood water, rub it with salt, then rinse it with water, and then use purple gold ingots and vinegar to adjust it to a paste and apply it to the affected area, which can be cured several times.

Symptoms) In summer, the turtle is active or injured during transportation, and the rough pool causes wear and tear of the tortoise shell, resulting in local redness, swelling and inflammation in the horn carapace. Moreover, most of them are seen in the inside of the abdominal carapace with hemorrhagic plaques, which spread to the surrounding infiltration type, and in severe cases, can affect the entire tortoise shell, causing sepsis and death. The poor water quality of the pool, the lack of disinfection, and the low oxygen at the bottom of the water are prone to produce a large number of monosporus bacteria are the culprits of this disease.

Prevention and control Fang Hao can be used to inflate and increase oxygen in the pool, so that the pool water is active, and there is almost no disease. This is especially effective in the case of high-density stocking or poor water quality in small ponds. Frequent water change is also an effective prevention and control method, which is more practical.

**Method] Small noromycin can be injected, 10,000 IU per 500 grams of turtle per day, gentamicin can also be used, the same usage. For severe turtles, it is best to pick the affected area with a needle, squeeze out the blood water, rub it with salt, then rinse it with water, and then use purple gold ingots and vinegar to adjust it to a paste and apply it to the affected area, which can be cured several times.
