What should I do if a turtle can t open its eyes? 20

Your turtle has white eye disease, and you need to do the following:

1.Diseased turtles are kept in pots and isolated from other turtles. Let it dry its back for a while every day to increase immunity.

2.The basin should be cleaned daily.

3.The water in the basin cannot be directly used with tap water, you need to dry the tap water for three days before using it, you can use a large bucket or 6 large Coke bottles to dry the water. This ensures that there is enough water every day.

4.It's especially good that your turtle still eats, and now you don't feed anything other than the chicken liver (which must be fresh). Try to cut into small pieces, this has an auxiliary effect on the eyes.

5.The turtle should be medicated at least twice a day, and eye ointment should be used, imported is the best, and chlortetracycline eye ointment is used if it is domestic. Eye ointments are more effective than eye drops. Here's why:

Eye ointment and eye drops are one of the most commonly used topical eye drugs for eye diseases. In terms of clinical use, the indications of the two are different, and the efficacy that can be achieved when using them is also different. The ointment can be applied into the conjunctival sac of the eyelid and has a uniform effect, with long-lasting effects when applied at night or before bedtime.

Since the ointment contains an oily matrix, it can be dotted into the eye to protect the tear film and reduce excessive evaporation of tears. For severe dry eye syndrome or exposure keratitis, eye ointment can better protect the tear film. In addition, the oily matrix of the ointment also acts as a lubricating effect, reducing friction between the inner surface of the eyelid and the surface of the cornea, such as corneal or conjunctival ulcers, which can be relieved by applying the ointment to the eye ointment if the suture head is exposed after surgery.

Although eye drops are highly permeable, they are not as effective as eye ointments in lubricating eyelids and protecting tear films, and their effective time is slightly weaker than ointments.

6.When the turtle is medicated, the turtle will move, you apply the eye ointment on the cotton swab, apply it into a spherical shape, and when the turtle opens its eyes, apply it to the turtle's eyes, try it several times, and be proficient.

Symptoms] The eyes of the sick turtle are congested and inflamed, the eyes are swollen, the cornea and nasal mucosa are eroded due to the inflammation of the eye, and the outside of the eye is covered by white secretions, and the eyes cannot be opened. Sick turtles often rub their eyes with their forelimbs, move slowly, stop eating severely, and finally die due to weakness complicated by other diseases. The disease often occurs in spring and autumn.

Prevention and control] For turtles with mild symptoms (able to open their eyes), they can be soaked with nitrofuracillin or furathofurone solution once a day, each time for 40 minutes, generally speaking, it can be ** a week. For turtles with severe symptoms that cannot open their eyes, first remove the white matter and white dead skin in the eyes, and if the bleeding continues, then soak the turtle in nitrofuracillin or furazone solution, and extend the soaking time to 1 hour a day!
