    Erythromycin ointment is not OK Once the turtle is dipped in water, the ointment and water will be more serious!!

    Also, many people are talking about using normal salts to treat them, which is 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!!

    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.

    With chloramphenicol eye drops, and penicillin eye ointment, apply daily to the turtle's eyes. Once in the morning and once in the evening. Dry turtle raising can only be done by letting the turtle and turtle in the water for about 1 hour a day.

    It should be fine to stick to it like this for half a month to a month.

    Symptoms of white eye disease.

    1. The turtle's eyes are swollen, inflamed, ulcerated, with increased eye discharge and itching;

    2. The tortoise has signs of lack of energy, slow movement, and reluctance to eat;

    3. Some turtles will have respiratory symptoms, accompanied by difficulty breathing, and open their mouths to breathe;

    4. The sick turtle begins to be reluctant to go into the water, and its weight becomes lighter and even has symptoms of blindness.

    Medication recommendations. 1. Apply chloramphenicol eye drops or antibiotic eye drops to the eye area of the sick turtle once a day in the morning and once in the evening;

    2. Change the water frequently, try to use cool and white water or less alkaline water, and add 1:500 oxytetracycline to the water for medicinal bathing;

    3. Clean up the eye secretions of sick turtles every day;

    4. An appropriate amount of animal liver can be fed, which is rich in vitamin A and can provide nutrients for eye recovery.

    Turtle white eye disease refers to the secretion of some white things in the eyes, and the eyes will be a little red and swollen, and most turtles with this disease will often wipe their eyes with their hands. If it's a water turtle (such as a Brazilian turtle is more likely to get eye disease): it's usually because of the water quality!

    Because it is often soaked in water with poor water quality, over time, it is easy to get eye inflammation. Generally speaking, go to the pharmacy to buy a chloramphenicol or erythromycin eye drops, drop them in clean water in the morning and evening, it can be slowly absorbed, and if it is serious, drop it directly in the eyes, just one drop, not too much, bask in the sun for about 20 minutes every day, and play a sterilizing role. In addition, note that the water level of the tap water should generally not be higher than it, so that it can poke its head out to breathe, if the water level is deep, it is best to make a staircase to give it a chance to climb to the water, change the water twice a day, especially after each feeding or pooping!

    It's not easy. (The above is my experience in raising Brazilian turtles for many years, and turtle lovers, I hope to give more love to your turtles, and they will get better soon.) Now I have a yellow-headed tortoise (i.e., a Burmese tortoise) and I've been healthy since I didn't have white eye.

    Even if it is, it is enough to use chloramphenicol. Tortoises are generally less susceptible to eye disease. Don't use other antibiotics or something, the dosage is not good, and soon the turtle will die under your hands...

    Dear, if a turtle suffers from white eye, its eyes will not be opened, and white things will flow out. This is mainly due to the poor water quality, which causes the disease when the turtle wipes its eyes with its forelimbs. After the onset of the disease, it needs to be carried out in time**, you can apply antibiotic ointment to its eyes, 1-2 times per part, and inject penicillin in severe cases, in addition, you can also soak and disinfect with potassium permanganate solution, soak for 20 minutes each time.

    smile] asked. The grass turtle is just swollen and white in the eye socket, is it sick.

    Dear, are there any symptoms that the teacher told you? If there is, it is white eye disease, according to the method that the teacher said**oh [smile].

    Hello, because seeing that you did not rate me last time, I am very concerned about your experience. If you are satisfied with my service, I hope you can give a thumbs up! If there is a problem, I am always waiting for you. I wish you a happy life and a happy life!

    Around December last year, I found that Brazil, which had been raised for 2 years, closed his eyes and couldn't break open, thinking that it would be good after winter, and I didn't care that it was basically in a state of death at the end of January, and it didn't react and wouldn't move! Both eyes were white, red and swollen, and I began to get anxious and began to register for "Baidu Tieba" for help! Knowing that this is called "white eye disease", some of the methods introduced by everyone say that erythromycin eye ointment should be smeared!

    Some ask for chloramphenicol eye drops! Some want to soak potassium permanganate! Bubble oxytetracycline with some!

    Some of the bubbles are furanculin! I just went to the pharmacy and bought erythromycin eye ointment, chloramphenicol eye drops, and oxytetracycline, but I don't know that, I'm dizzy now! How???

    So I chose my own judgment! Since redness and swelling is inflammation, it must be anti-inflammatory, how can I soak in water again? If you soak it again, it will definitely fester!

    I ruled out the bubble potion first! I chose to drop chloramphenicol drops 3 times a day, after 5 minutes let the eye drops enter my eyes, use a cotton swab to gently smear erythromycin eye ointment on both eyes, once in the morning and evening, no need to pick up the white pus, it will be slowly absorbed. ok!

    Place in a dark place after each application and let it absorb the medicine slowly! 2-3 days, take a small amount of purified water, add 3 1 tablet of soil enzyme to 400ml of water, and give it water for 15 minutes, it will drink water, and at the same time will ingest soil enzyme to achieve the anti-inflammatory effect in the body 15 minutes later, pick it up and dry it In early February, its left eye slowly broke open I knew that my method was working Continue to do this, every time I take medicine, I tell it to be strong and live, everything will be fine. At the end of February, the left eye %90 was good, but the right eye was still not getting better, and it was already completely white, and someone told me that if I turned white, I was blind I was so anxious that I started asking in the group again.

    The answer is still a different one I still didn't give up when I was desperate and continued to deal with it in the same way On March 8, when I came back from Hong Kong to help it with medicine, I saw that its right eye was also open! My tears of excitement are about to come out, so touched, I reaffirm my approach! It has continued until now, its eyes are bright, and the right side is seriously red, and the cornea is red, and everything else is fine!

    It's also very lively, crawling everywhere, and I still give it eye drops now, thank God! I've been busy for the past 4 months!!

    It can be determined that it is not a normal phenomenon, and it is necessary to give **. Many of the signs of the turtle's diseases are reflected in the eyes. Check other feeding conditions to find out other treatments.
