    If you have nail rot, you can use chlortetracycline eye ointment, but it is better to use Yunnan Baiyao. Nail rot must be dried and raised, not water, otherwise it will not be better. When raising the turtle dry, you can wrap it in a damp cloth to prevent it from dying from drought, and clean the damp cloth and feeding container frequently.

    My turtles have also had nail rot and I wash the damp cloth and tank every day. Nail rot ** is very slow, and my turtle is completely cured in about three months.

    Nail rot: **: When the carapace is damaged, bacteria invade the wound and cause the carapace to rot.

    Symptoms: The superficial carapace is decaying, or burrows or even visible muscles, does not like to eat food and rarely moves.

    Prevention and control methods: soak the diseased turtle with 40ppm potassium permanganate solution for 15 minutes, and then gently apply a trace amount of potassium permanganate crystal powder to the lesion of the diseased turtle.

    1.In the early stage of the disease, the symptoms are gray spots on the tortoise shell, and then slowly turn into flesh-colored or red lumps, if not timed**, the affected area will be infected and slowly ulcerated with a peculiar odor, and finally life-threatening. If the wound is not infected or worsened, it can be wiped repeatedly with iodine tincture or 1%-2% hydrogen peroxide, and then applied chlortetracycline ointment (anti-inflammatory) or Yunnan Baiyao (hemostasis), or Baiduobang ointment can be used.

    Once every two days for one to two weeks. If the wound is infected or worsened, the outer skin of the affected area must be picked with a sterilized knife, and the blood or pus must be squeezed out before following the above method**, and the wound must be bandaged with gauze according to the condition of the wound. Once every three to four days for one to two months.

    **During the period, it is not advisable to bathe or soak in water to keep the wound dry.

    2.In the middle stage of the disease, the symptoms are the separation or upheaving of the epidermis of the affected area of the outer nail, and the patient is immobile or refuses to eat. The first step is to wipe a small amount of furazolidone dry powder or fill it with a straw and take amoxicillin tablets (20 mg kg) or metronidazole tablets (40 mg kg) on the affected area if it does not work, and at the same time supplement nutrients such as electrolyte mixture and special vitamins.

    Method of administration: Find a very small container to dissolve the tablets in warm water, then find a straw for oral liquid, suck some (the amount of medicine is controlled according to the size of the turtle), use the tongue against one end of the straw, and insert the other end into the back of the tongue in the turtle's mouth (erect the turtle) to avoid the liquid from flowing into the trachea. If you open your tongue, the liquid will naturally flow in, or blow it gently.

    This method, whether it is administering medicine or supplementing the turtle with various nutrients, will be more direct and effective than the effect of medicated baths and applying drugs and nutrients to food. But the only drawback is that it is not easy to open its mouth, and it can be used with a small non-metallic stick such as a plastic ear plucker or toothpick.

    In the late stage of the disease, the symptoms are that the affected area has decomposed and even penetrated the tortoise shell, and the eyes are closed and the food is stopped, and in severe cases, death. After the second step, chlortetracycline is injected at a rate of 200,000 IU per kilogram of turtle body weight.

    Note: Please refer to the first step for the method of trauma to the head, neck and limbs. Please use potassium permanganate with caution for trauma and nail rottenness, as improper dilution is easy to corrode the outer armor. Early detection and early **, stagnation caused the death of turtles.

    Hello dear, if the little turtle has rotten armor or is very lively, it means that the tortoise's rotten cherry book is not seriously ill.

    Turtles get carrion because they live in a dirty environment for a long time, or because of the nutritional imbalance caused by too simple food. Keepers can give the tank a wash, dump the sewage and pour in clean fresh water. If it is caused by unbalanced nutrition, it is recommended to adjust the turtle's diet and feed it with meat, vegetables and turtle food.

    Turtles suffering from rotting nail disease can be caused by living in dirty water for a long time, and if the keeper does not change the water quality for a long time, it will breed a large number of bacteria. Once the tortoise's dorsal carapace is damaged, bacteria will enter the tortoise's body and carapace will appear. In addition, if the turtle eats a single food for a long time, it will cause nutritional imbalance, which will lead to carrion.

    If the water is too dirty, the keeper can carefully clean the turtle pond, sterilize and disinfect the objects that the turtle has been in close contact with, such as the food bowl, etc., and also pour out the sewage and replace the clean tap water after 2 days of drying.

    If it is caused by unbalanced nutrition, the keeper only needs to adjust the turtle's diet and mix and match various types of food to feed it. Turtles are omnivores, and meat, vegetables, etc. can be eaten, so it is recommended that keepers also maintain the variety of food when feeding.

    Turtle rot is a carapace that is damaged or crushed, allowing germs to invade the tortoise shell, causing the carapace to ulcerate.

    You see if there are any of these symptoms:

    The dorsal or abdominal armor starts with white spots, but slowly turns into red spots, and if you squeeze hard, blood oozes out, and it also has a rancid smell. In severe cases, the surface of the carapace will ulcerate into holes, and the armpits and hips will swell.

    Turtles don't eat, don't move, and always keep their heads down. If you have a four-eyed turtle, a side-necked turtle, or a snake-necked turtle, you can easily get this disease.

    **:** Rotting armor is a very long process, not all at once, the building mainly has patience.

    Remove the rotten parts of the tortoise shell and disinfect it with hydrogen peroxide or iodine. If the wound is very deep, fill it with Yunnan Baiyao and seal it with a band-aid.

    Pay attention to dry rearing. Otherwise, it will get worse and worse. Eventually, the tortoise shell will rot through. The organs also became inflamed. In the end, it was 88.

    However, I still recommend that the landlord take it to the veterinarian to see if it is correct. It's actually worth spending a little money and buying it healthy.

    If the turtle has just begun to carry, it is enough to use some basic antibacterial drugs, and if it is the surrounding rot caused by fighting with other turtles, it should be sent to the hospital in time for a comprehensive examination and targeted medication.

    1. Mild rotten nails (superficial rotten nails).

    1. The superficial rot armor that has just been formed, it is recommended to dry raise, and the turtle has the ability to adjust by itself. Some common topical anti-inflammatory creams can be used to apply to the affected area.

    2. The surface is a floating dead nail, and there is a slag sample under the dead nail, and a new nail layer has been formed under the slag sample.

    Treatment: Use a toothpick or razor blade to gently pick off floating dead nails and slag, wash and disinfect with 5% povidone-iodine solution, and then apply erythromycin ointment or chlortetracycline ointment.

    Feeding: dry raising for two weeks, soaking in water two to three times a day, feeding in the bath, after leaving the water, dry the body of the turtle, wash and disinfect with 5% povidone-iodine solution, and apply erythromycin eye ointment or chlortetracycline eye ointment. Tortoises are better to serve.

    2. Moderate and severe rotten nails.

    Diagnosis: Some of the dorsal or abdominal carapaces of turtles have a large number of small needle holes, some of the affected areas are soft, some of the affected areas are erosive, and in severe cases, they will emit a strong rancid odor, and they will ulcerate into holes and perforations. In general, if there is a fishy smell or a light rancid odor, the infection is already severe.

    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. )

    For moderate rotten nails, personal experience and feedback from some turtle friends, external drugs plus oral drugs, in most cases, treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is difficult to do it repeatedly.

    **: It is recommended to use antibiotics for injection for moderate and severe nail decay**, the course of treatment is 7-10 days, and the more severe cases are extended to 14 days, and the second course of treatment is required in special circumstances.

    The turtle is a long-lived animal, and it is also very convenient to raise it daily, and regular water changes and feeding can make the turtle grow healthily. As the turtle grows older, the pattern on the shell will change, and the carapace will also fall off regularly. However, if the tortoise shell piece is not only falling off, but also exposing the flesh and slag, it is necessary to pay attention to nail rot.

    If it's serious, the turtle will die.

    If the turtle has some floating dead nails on the surface and some dross-like material under the dead nails, then a new cuticle usually forms under the slag-like object. Use a toothpick to gently pick out dead nails and scum-like objects and apply some povidone-iodine cream after cleaning and disinfecting. If the carapace is moderately or heavily rotten, the tortoiseshell usually has a large number of small pinholes or rotten punctures, and it also emits a severe foul odor.

    This indicates that the carapace of the turtle is already severe. Often, only topical and oral medications are used to ** the disease, which can only be suppressed, not fundamentally**, and is usually reversed and difficult to recover. It is better to go to a regular hospital** to help, which is safe and reliable.

    If you don't do it, you'll die. But it can**. Use a blade to dig out a layer of carapace in the lesion area until no decay is visible.

    The excavated area is then cleaned with hydrogen peroxide or potassium permanganate water, and the potassium permanganate powder is poured directly onto the wound. Dry for a few hours a day and seal the wound with erythromycin eye ointment before entering the water. Remember to disinfect frequently with potassium permanganate or hydrogen peroxide.

    If you touch the nail piece smoothly with your fingernails and press it down in a soft place, if there is water or rotten flesh (wooden scum or the like), it is rotten or rotten, if you are unsure, put your hand in front of your nose and smell it to see if you smell a bad smell.

    After a turtle suffers from nail rot, it usually needs to be dried for half a month before it can be raised in the water before it can be raised again. It is best to wait for the wound to scab over and harden. Before dry breeding, it is necessary to ** rot nail disease.

    First, the rotten dead nails are removed, then washed and disinfected, and erythromycin ophthalmic ointment and other topical anti-inflammatory drugs are applied. Proper soaking in water during the drying period to prevent the turtle from having difficulty defecating. It should be noted that some turtles have body odor.

    It's not rotten nails. Do not blindly use the drug after smelling it. This will endanger the health of the turtle, depending on the condition of the turtle's disease.

    The tortoise carapace that normally changes its armor turns white in large areas or in many places after the dorsal dryness, which is the old shell that has not completely fallen off, which is very different from the fungus. If the carapace decays, the color of the carapace will be very different from the usual one. We pinch it with the tip of our finger and press it in, there is a feeling of ascites and there is a cavity inside.

    When the nail is replaced, the keratin on the surface peels off little by little, not the entire part. It doesn't soften when touched, it doesn't soften like carrion, the turtle struggles and suffers to the touch, and it doesn't smell rancid. The main manifestation of armor change is that it spreads from the edge of the carapace to the middle of the carapace.

    Under normal conditions, warping and whitening occur.
