How to cure the white eye disease of the Brazilian red eared turtle?

Many people are talking about using normal salt to treat it, it's like treating wounds!

In fact, turtles are the same as people, if the human eye is sick, can it be treated with salt water?

It will only make the turtle blind with salt, and do not use salt water!!

There is also erythromycin ointment can not be once the turtle is dipped in water, the ointment and water will be more serious!!

I know a lot of people are getting sick with their turtles.

I often hear netizens say that the eyes of the turtles raised have turned white and they can't open their eyes.

This is especially true at the beginning of spring. Most of the main causes are caused by deterioration of water quality or excessive alkalinity of water quality. The onset season is spring, autumn and the spring after wintering is the peak epidemic period.

All I can say is the general symptoms.

Symptoms: The eyes of the sick turtle are inflamed and congested, and the eyes are swollen. The cornea and mucous membranes of the eye are eroded due to inflammation of the eye, and the outside of the eyeball is covered by white secretions, 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.

For turtles with mild symptoms and barely open eyes, they can be soaked in a solution of nitrofurancillin or furanone with a concentration of 30 milligrams. Soak for 40 minutes. Soak for 5 days continuously.

For those who are seriously ill and can not open their eyes, first remove the white matter and white necrotic epidermis in the eyes, and continue to clean up if there is bleeding, and then soak the turtle in a solution with vitamin B and oxytetracycline solution, and put oxytetracycline and 2 tablets of vitamin B in every 500 grams of water. Strengthen water management, pay attention to cleanliness and sanitation and remove leftover bait in a timely manner, and at the same time appropriately control the density of feeding.

Ciprofloxacin eye drops or Fuping take eye drops twice a day, and put the turtle in a dry place to bask in the sun after the medicine. If you are seriously ill, you can open the turtle eye, wash the eyes with normal saline, wash away the pus, and then take a medicated bath.

White-eye , symptoms and causes:

The eyes cannot be opened, the cornea and surrounding areas are eroded, and there is a layer of white membrane. Caused by water pollution. Commonly used to rub the forelimbs of the eyes, can not eat, in severe cases blindness, difficulty breathing, emaciated and died.

Medical: Remove the turtle from the water and place it in a dark place so that the membranous flow from its eyes can be fed some animal liver. Spot the eye with chloramphenicol or other anti-inflammatory eye drops once or twice a day, or once or twice with penicillin at 10,000 units per kilogram of turtle weight; Or use a cotton swab or a new brush tip dipped in 1% furacillin or 1% Lefnuer aqueous solution, apply to the eyes twice a day, and then put it in clean water. Basically, it can be cured in six days.

Don't use cephalosporin, change to mild amoxicillin, soak it into a medicinal bath, soak it three times a day, one hour at a time, and dry it for the rest of the time, and not get wet. Turtle A uses half a bag of amoxicillin granules a day, while turtle B uses one bag a day. A small amount of glucose can also be mixed into the medicated bath water to replenish physical energy.

In addition, go to the pharmacy and buy a tube of erythromycin eye ointment and apply a cotton swab to the affected area. As for the question of dry maintenance, it has to be like this.

Rub chloramphenicol eye ointment on the white eyes, floating on the side of the floating water is pneumonia, use amoxicillin medicated bath, buy a heating rod to heat.

During the winter months, Brazilian tortoises hardly eat, so it's normal not to eat.

In fact, dry raising is very simple, just put a useless clothes or something on it, and he will turn it in for the winter.
