The baby turtle seems to have small blisters on its body, and it looks a little ulcerated, is it mol

If you take a small white packet, it may be turtle water mold.

** Turtles live in water or damp places for a long time, and fungi (water molds) infect turtles.

Symptoms Water mold mostly occurs on the limbs and neck of turtles. The mycelium is white, soft, like white cotton wool, and the diseased turtle loses its appetite at first and is restless; In severe cases, the body is emaciated and weak, and finally the food consumption decreases, and finally dies.

Prevention and control In the daily feeding management, the turtle should be often exposed to the sun to inhibit the breeding of water mold and play a preventive role. For the diseased turtles, the prepared 3%-4% salt water can be used to soak the diseased turtles for 5-10 minutes; and disinfect the utensils used to keep turtles. At the same time, mix an appropriate amount of antibiotics or sulfonamides into the bait to improve the turtle's disease resistance.

In the case of molting, it should be a large area of peeling of the whole body.

Molting: It is a hormonal-regulated process in which the turtle sheds its outer layer of keratinized skin in order to adapt to growth or skinning. During molting, the turtle rubs against large rocks or other man-made objects, which can accelerate normal molting. The molt begins around the mouth and turns the old skin outward during molting.

There is also a type of rot.

Rotten skin disease **: Caused by infection with Bacterium monosporus. Due to the high feeding density, the turtles bite each other, and after the invasion of germs, it causes necrosis of the first tissue in the injured part. Water pollution can also cause turtle disease.

Symptoms: The affected part of the diseased turtle can be seen to the naked eye, and the epidermis is whitish.

Prevention and control method: first remove the lesion of the affected area and apply it with chlortetracycline eye ointment, 1 time a day. If the turtle eats on its own, oxytetracycline powder can be added to the food; If the turtle has stopped eating, chlortetracycline can be applied and the sick turtle can be fed in isolation.

Do not release water to feed, so as not to aggravate the condition. After the turtle recovers, it is reared in a human pond.

It's sick, and the molt is dry, not festering.

Molting is normal and is a sign of the growth of a baby turtle. The turtle sheds its skin like a snake, but it does not shed all at once.

However, it is necessary to distinguish whether it is normal molting or nail rot.

Molting is the process of aging, shedding, and showing new armor on each shield armor of the turtle, which usually indicates that the turtle is growing. When molting, the edge of each shield begins to change color, layer, and fall off. The most obvious and exaggerated molting phenomenon is the Brazilian tortoise.

So does the tortoise (Chinese grass tortoise) shed its shell? Molt! The small patches of waxy material floating on the surface of the water where the turtles are raised are the molts of the turtles (some of the floats are molts).

The turtle's molting is relatively gentle, not as flamboyant as the Brazilian tortoise!

Nail rot**: The carapace is festered due to damage or crushing of the carapace, allowing germs to invade the tortoiseshell.

Symptoms: The dorsal or ventral carapace of the turtle initially appears white spots, which slowly form red spots, and blood oozes out when pressed hard, and there is a rancid smell. In severe cases, the surface of the carapace will ulcerate into holes, and the armpits and crotch will bulge.

Sick turtles stop eating and move less, and there is a phenomenon of head shrinkage. Nail rot and rot can be like this**Go to the pharmacy to buy chlortetracycline eye ointment and Yunnan Baiyao spray with it It is recommended to use semi-dry and semi-dry cultivation is to soak in water 3 times a day for about 15 minutes each time, the water temperature is warm to the touch of your hand, and the breeding box must be covered Cover to leave a small slit for ventilation It can play a role in heat preservation If you don't add a warming stick, soak the water for 15 minutes and it will be almost cold Take out the turtle Dry it in the breeding box Wait for the next soaking Pay attention to the water temperature Be careful that the turtle catches a cold.

Before soaking in water, chlortetracycline can be waterproof and anti-inflammatory After soaking in water for 20 minutes, the turtle will dry and take it out, spray Yunnan Baiyao, do not use directly connected tap water to raise turtles, there is chlorine in the water, it will hurt the turtle's eyes, connect the tap water and put it for more than 1 day Ensure that the water temperature when soaking in water is warm to the touch of the hand Soak it for 20 minutes and take it out and dry it Remember that when soaking in water, the breeding box should be covered Keep warm and leave points to permeate the air Or the turtle will hold it.

Is it molting. Molting is normal and is a sign of the growth of a baby turtle. The turtle sheds its skin like a snake, but it does not shed all at once, but slowly sheds.

At this time, don't help it tear down, it will hurt the turtle, when the turtle molts, you must keep the fish tank clean, change the water often, there will be a lot of dead skin of the turtle in the water. These skins generally appear to be transparent and white. The turtle molts, and everything is taken care of as before.

Symptoms: White or yellowish rotten spots on the head, neck, limbs or tail of the turtle.

Turtles will bite each other when fighting and mating, resulting in breakage, infection, and poor water quality is also easy to cause this disease.

**: Wash the wound of the turtle with saline with a concentration of 10 first, remove the necrotic **, and start lightly to minimize the pain to the turtle. Then sprinkle evenly on the affected area with sterilized sulfonamide crystals or apply chlortetracycline ointment (eye ointment).

**During the period, except for feeding the turtle into the water, the rest of the time can not be put into the water, when changing the dressing, the old medicine should be washed off, and then the new medicine should be applied. Change the dressing once a day.

Hurry up and save it, take care of it, by the way, change the water frequently.

Judging from the ** you sent, your turtle situation should be the possibility of rotting nails, it is recommended to touch it with chlortetracycline eye ointment, and then dry it for more than two hours, and then put it back in the water, try it twice a day, and let it bask in the sun more.

Rotten skin, after the wound is disinfected, it is coated with Yunnan Baiyao and dried and raised.

It's the same with the feet, if the wound is not big, don't worry too much, it will get better, but don't let it stay in the water for too long.

The new shell is long, the shell will fall off, and it will be very tender if it falls off the edges, and it will be very soft.

It's shedding its shell, proving that it's grownIt's okay.

It will wake up slowly after hibernation, it will move, and you can feed it as it crawls around.

You can eat boiled egg yolks, don't feed anything else, shrimp skin, lean meat, liver, etc.

Be sure to release water to the baby turtles.

You'd better not take the sun to shine on it, or deliberately put it in a warm place to wake it up, so that the growth of the baby turtle is not good, and it is easy to get sick, the water temperature should not be hot, as long as it does not freeze, the temperature is below 15 degrees and it will hibernate.

That's how my tortoise is raised.

Feed the shrimp skin and take a basin and put some water, so that its paws should be wet. Desert the water to the turtle shell, you can't have too much water, it has to breathe air.

Now it's time for the turtle to hibernate, and the turtle rarely eats in winter Feed shrimp once every half a month, but feed less because he doesn't eat much.

In the summer, you can use a brush to brush off the white stuff on it when you take it outside to bask in the sun, but be careful not to let it bite, and if it hurts, my mom will let it bite once. Brush and it will be clean. Brush gently.

The baby turtle has a layer of skin on it, and don't do anything, just wait for it to fall off on its own.

Turtle molting is a normal physiological phenomenon, when molting, there is a thin white or light yellow skin put into the water, you can clearly see that the peeling skin is like a film, and the turtle's carapace appears white or other color peeling.

It's like a fish scale.

If this happens, it is a sign that the turtle is very healthy and growing.

Regularly soaking the turtle in less than 1% brackish water for half an hour (freshwater turtles only) can help it molt, and will play a bactericidal role to prevent infection or rot.

It's winter, and the baby turtle needs to hibernate and won't eat food, and he needs a quiet rest, and the white skin you said is normal, and my baby turtle also has metabolism, and that's normal peeling, and it doesn't matter.

Now hibernate, don't put him in too much water, don't let the water level go above his nostrils, remember.
