The Brazilian tortoise does not know what is sick, how do you know if the Brazilian tortoise is sick

If the eye is swollen, it's a white eye.

If the eyes are fine, it's just drowsiness, it's pneumonia.

It's nail rot. It is usually caused by an infection. Usually pay attention to try not to soak in water, generally a thin layer is enough. Then wash the rot with hydrogen peroxide every day, and then apply erythromycin ointment to protect it, which is generally good for a week. You've got a lot of water.

I don't know how to treat it, my turtle died like this before, don't feed it fish, shrimp, insects, and meat to get sick easily, feed turtle food.

There is also water that can be used again and again, and the water quality is very problematic.

Hello dear, this is what a healthy Brazilian turtle should be.

Hello, dear. Once the turtle does not have the above conditions, it must be carefully observed and pay attention to the condition. If possible, it should be sent to the pet hospital for examination,**.

If there are no conditions, you can also deal with it yourself. However, the medicine should pay attention to the correct judgment of the condition and handle it properly. First confirm which turtle is sick, and the sick turtle should be isolated and kept separately, and the original breeding container should be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for more than 30 minutes for disinfection and sterilization.

Other turtles that are not sick should take precautions and be fed some antibiotics. Keep the turtle house clean and do not feed spoiled food. During the change of seasons, appropriate nutritional drugs and antibiotics should be mixed into food for prevention.

Hibernation: Hibernation is important for tortoises. When the temperature drops below around 12 degrees, they begin to hibernate.

In the north, it probably starts from the end of October to March of the following year. It is best not to hibernate in the first year of newborn turtles, and it is best not to hibernate in weak and sick turtles. Sticking to the fat to clear the stomach and intestines:

In September, they began to supplement their nutrition and attach to their fat. Feeding is stopped about two weeks before hibernation, and the last three or four days are soaked in warm water to defecate and empty the bowels. The above is very necessary, otherwise the food left in the intestines will ferment and cause their stomach wall and intestines to rupture, and they will die.

Arrangement of hibernation boxes: Use large plastic storage boxes and put thick soil. They'll burrow into it themselves.

Leave it on for a few days and spray the soil with some water to keep it moist. 10--13 degrees is the optimal temperature for hibernation. Do not put it in the open air, it will freeze to death if it is below 8 degrees.

It is best placed in the corner of the balcony. Let the temperature drop slowly and don't let them suddenly feel cold. Keep an eye on them at all times.

Don't forget them! When the weather is warm, take the turtle out and put it back in its original habitat and do not feed it for three days. Start feeding again on the fourth or fifth day.

They've definitely lost weight. Give them plenty to eat and make up for it. If you haven't eaten for a long time, you can soak it in glucose water You can taste a little sweet White-eye disease needs to be warmed** Dry nutrition Avoid light The medicine must be in the eyes to work You can use a cotton swab to get the medicine on the cotton swab Roll it back and forth in the eyes The medicine can go in.

Here are a few common diseases of Brazilian tortoises:

1. Symptoms: swollen eyes, usually closed and may shed white things.

Causes: Bacterial infections, usually caused by water quality, can also be caused by incorrect temperatures.

**: Apply antibiotics, which are the kind of insoluble ointment, while paying attention to hygiene.

2. Symptoms: soft shell, weak limbs, and difficulty in feeding.

Cause: Calcium deficiency.

**: Calcium supplementation, dietary corrections, more sunlight, and severe calcium injections. Soft family disease can not be placed on the body of the turtle.

, neither can the hatchlings.

3. Symptoms: trauma, injury.

Causes: Fights, rock abrasions.

**: Dry, coated with iodine. Observe symptoms to know full recovery.

4. Symptoms: There are white spots on the body, flocculent, which can be wiped, and the cause of infection: water quality or high and low temperature or long-term low temperature.

**: Dilute potassium permanganate and soak, the effect is good, but the turtle** will turn purple and will not disappear until the molt. Salt blister, low effect, plays a role in disinfection.

Gentamicin plus blister. It is recommended to disinfect salt water and soak gentamicin twice a day, and insist on drying too much and drying.

5. Symptoms: There is a metal-like necrotic tongue coating in the mouth. You may refuse to eat and even your eyes will be swollen.

At present, there are actually many species of Brazilian turtles called in China, but most of the ones we raise daily are redgill turtles or yellowgill turtles, which belong to semi-aquatic turtles, usually carnivorous, such as small fish, small shrimp or fine pig beef. The juvenile turtle has a strong attachment to water, about 2 3 years or more of the time needs to live in the water, as the age of the water dependence decreases, but still needs to live near the water source in the humid area. Because the Brazilian turtle is a tropical turtle, in addition to paying attention to water quality and food, it is also necessary to grasp the temperature of the water.

Diagnosis of white eye disease: In the early stage of white eye disease, the eye produces a small amount of discharge, inflammation, congestion, and swelling. In the middle and late stages, the conjunctiva is fully infected and adhesed, the cornea is eroded, the transient membrane is severely infected, hyperemic, whitish, thickened, covering the eyeball, the eyes are closed, refusing to eat or even water, and the spirit is aggrieved.

**: 1. For mild to moderate infection, use chloramphenicol eye drops during the day, once an hour, and apply erythromycin eye ointment at night. Oral azithromycin.

2. For severe infection, it is recommended to use injectable antibiotics. Topical chloramphenicol eye drops and erythromycin eye ointment. Advice:

Do not try to use a razor blade to peel off the congested, whitish, thickened white membrane that covers the infection on the eyeball, because this is the instantaneous membrane in the turtle's eye. If necessary (after a few days of injectable antibiotics), smooth forceps can be used to gently scrape and clip off the yellow pus or abscess that is not easy to drain on the surface of the conjunctiva and transient membrane. When cleaning the yellow pus or abscess between the instantaneous membrane and the cornea, the cleaning method of pushing, squeezing and clamping is used, and the operation must be carried out with extra care.

The infection, blood-congested, whitish, and thickened transient membrane covering the eyeball, under the action of antibiotics, will slowly ** return to a normal state. Diagnosis: The dorsal or abdominal carapace of the turtle has white spots or small pinhole holes, some have slag-like substances, some of the affected areas are soft, and in severe cases, they will emit a rancid smell and will ulcerate into holes.

Huang Yuan's rotten armor is not easy to detect in the early stage, and when there is a rancid smell, it is very serious. **: 1. Mild rotten nails (superficial rotten nails) Use a toothpick to pick off floating dead nails and slag samples, clean and disinfect with hydrogen peroxide, and apply erythromycin eye ointment.

Dry rearing for two weeks, soak in water two to three times a day, after leaving the water, wipe the body of the turtle and turtle, wash and disinfect it with hydrogen peroxide, and apply erythromycin eye ointment. 2. Moderate to severe rotting turtles The body of turtles, some exude a rancid smell, and some need zero distance to smell a light rancid smell. If there are floating dead nails and slag samples, pick them off with a toothpick or peel off the floating dead nails with a sterilized blade, clean and disinfect them with hydrogen peroxide, and apply potassium permanganate powder.

If it does not have the conditions for dry raising, seal it with petroleum jelly and protect it with a band-aid. Moderate infection: oral cefadroxil is recommended.

The course of treatment is 7 to 10 days. Severe infection: Significant rancid fishy smell or perforation, injectable antibiotics are recommended.

The course of treatment is 7 to 10 days. Advice: Don't make a big deal about the parts of the bone plate that are soft due to bacterial infection, and the brutal excavation will undoubtedly make it worse.

Rotten skin Diagnosis: The skin of the turtle is white and ulcerated, and when the ulceration is severe, it will crack up. **：

After iodine is applied, erythromycin eye ointment is applied. Dry rearing for two weeks, soak in water two to three times a day, after leaving the water, wipe the body of the turtle and turtle, and repeat the process. For severely diseased turtles, oral antibiotics are needed.
