    In mild cases, the eyes are inflamed and swollen, unable to be opened, and the nose has white rotten skin. In severe cases, there is a white okara-like and fluid discharge in the lower eyelids. In the early stage, the turtle can still eat, and does not stop rubbing the eyes with its forelimbs, and in the later stage, it stops eating, and its body is light, and it is complicated by other diseases and dies.

    **: 1. Antibiotic eye ointment can be applied to light cases; Soaking in a solution of nitrofuracillin or furazolidone for 40 minutes has some effect. In severe cases, intraocular secretions should be cleaned first, and then intraperitoneal injection of chloramphenicol (chloramphenicol can also be used as an alternative), 10 mg per kilogram, for 7 consecutive days.

    Usually about 4 days after injection, the turtle's eyes can be half opened. Soaking with vitamin B and oxytetracycline solution also has a certain effect. 2. Soak the whole pool with streptomycin sulfate, and use 1-20,000 IU per liter of water.

    Severe turtles were injected intramuscularly with piperacillin sodium plus glucose sodium chloride solution, each ml, 1 time a day, and continuous injection for 3 days as a course of treatment; For individuals who have not yet **, a course of injection will be given after 5 days. 3. Wash the eyes with 2% saline or boric acid water, remove intraocular secretions, and apply chlortetracycline eye ointment. The diseased turtle pond was splashed with 2 grams of cubic meters of furazolidone.

    4. Rinse the eyes with penicillin aqueous solution frequently, and then use chloramphenicol eye drops to dot the eyes. Care: ** stage, the high ambient temperature helps the turtle to absorb the drug, and the ambient temperature should be kept above 25 degrees.

    Change the water about 3 times a day to ensure that the water quality is good. After feeding a small amount of food, the turtles that have eaten are separated, but the medication still needs to be continued.

    **The method of Brazilian turtle eye disease is as follows: 1. If the Brazilian turtle can't open its eyes, it is necessary to see if it has a gray-white membrane covering its turtle eyes, if so, it is an eye disease. I used to put two drops on the eyes of a Brazilian turtle with eye drops, several times a day.

    After a few days, the membrane was gone. 2. What should I do if I can't eat? My method is to use tweezers to hold the meat between the nostrils and the mouth of the Brazilian tortoise, and when it smells the meat, it will open its mouth to eat.

    3. Brazilian turtles suffering from eye diseases will pollute the water quality, and they should change the water in the container after eating every day.

    After last year's sting, my Brazilian tortoise didn't open its eyes, so I picked the eyelids of the Brazilian tortoise several times a day, dropped chloramphenicol eye drops, and applied chlortetracycline eye ointment once a day in the morning and afternoon, and then let it move on the ground for a few minutes. After a week, feed once a day, use a toothpick to dial the snail meat into the turtle's mouth and slowly poke it into its throat. After 10 days, rub the puff around his eyes with a cotton swab, and the pannu will be ** after the pannu is taken off.
