    To emphasize...It's not a shell change.

    The nails fell out and were a little swollen.

    It's a little inflamed.

    Then you can him for a few days now. Because it is easy to become inflamed in water.

    You give him potassium permanganate every day. Melt in water.

    There's a little bit of it.

    Color will do.

    Soak once a day. And then.

    Dry culture. It will be fine in a few days.

    My family's turtles are now each.

    All have lost their nails. They all bite off each other. Hehe.

    Don't get inflamed and you'll be fine.

    If it doesn't hurt me.

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

    I'm here during the day.

    You didn't disinfect your nails when you lost them.

    Bacteria went in.

    After disinfection, it is dried and raised.

    Nail loss is caused by a lack of calcium.

    Give him more foods that are high in calcium.

    Get plenty of sun. New nails grow in a few months.

    If the newly broken nail is bleeding, stop the bleeding with Yunnan Baiyao, after the bleeding stops, povidone-iodine or iodophor is disinfected with erythromycin ointment, apply the medicine 1 3 times a day, dry and raise it in a feeding environment of 25 30 degrees, try not to soak in water (it is easy to get infected in the water for a long time), feed the water with a water cup or bathe twice a day for a short time (10 minutes each time, and apply erythromycin cream to the affected area before bathing for waterproof), you can feed when you take a bath, insist on 5 15 days, depending on the degree of injury.

    If the finger is already infected and swollen after the finger is amputated, insist on applying erythromycin cream, and the swelling will generally go away after two or three weeks.

    The root of the nail has been eroded, it is necessary to clean up the erosion tissue, after cleaning, if there is bleeding, first use Yunnan Baiyao to stop bleeding, and then disinfect erythromycin paste with povidone-iodine or iodophor every day, apply the medicine 1 3 times a day, and dry raise it in a feeding environment of 25 30 degrees.

A course of oral antibiotics for appetite is 7 to 14 days, and if food is refused, a course of injectable antibiotics should be considered7 to 14 days.

    If the new tissue at the root of the severed finger will close the root of the finger, and the new nail cannot be broken for a long time, you should consider doing a small operation and opening a small opening to help the nail grow smoothly. After the operation, attention should be paid to preventing infection, stopping bleeding, disinfection, and erythromycin cream, and the feeding method is the same as above.

Landlord, it is best not to put water in the water during the period of applying the ointment**, dry raising!! The eyes are open and it means that it is almost well, I see that your ** is not very swollen anymore, continue to keep it, and it will be fine in a few days. If you want a more effective way, you can look for it in the boutique area of the Brazilian turtle sticker bar, I remember that there is a post in it about **white eyes, and the effect is not bad.
