What s wrong with my tortoise? How to cure it?

Eye Disease **: Due to excessive feeding density, the water quality is not changed in time, resulting in deterioration of water quality and excessive alkalinity. The onset season is mostly in spring and autumn, and the spring after overwintering is the peak epidemic period.

The disease is mostly seen in Brazilian painted turtles, turtles, spotted turtles, brocade turtles, etc., and the incidence rate of juvenile turtles is high.

Symptoms: The eye area of the sick turtle is inflamed and congested, gradually turning grayish white and gradually enlarged. The cornea and nasal mucosa of the eye are eroded due to inflammation of the eye, and in severe cases, both eyes are blinded and breathing is blocked.

The outside of the eyeball is covered by white secretions, and the eyes cannot be opened. Sick turtles often rub their eyes with their forelimbs, move slowly, stop eating in severe cases, and finally die of exhaustion due to weakness complicated by other diseases. Some turtles have only one disease at the beginning of the disease, and if no action is taken, symptoms will soon develop in the other eye.

Prevention and control: The water should be changed frequently, the water quality should be kept clean, and nutritional drugs should be fed on time to improve the turtle's own resistance. Turtles that have been sick should be kept separately, and the original breeding container should be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for more than 30 minutes for disinfection and sterilization.

For turtles housed in the same tank, if it is found that they already have white eye disease, other ones can be soaked in nitrofuracilin (or furazolidone) solution. This is both a preventative measure and can be used as an early stage**. Juvenile turtles should use 20 milliliter concentration, and juvenile turtles should use 30 milliliter concentration for adult turtles, and the length of immersion time depends on the water temperature.

Soak once a day (40 minutes) for 3-5 days if necessary.

For mild turtles (those who can still open their eyes and can actively eat), the turtle can be soaked in low-concentration salt water or kept in 15 milliliters of nitrofuracillin or furazolidone solution, and it can be cured in about a week. Or soak the liquid medicine with a concentration of 30 milligrams for 40 minutes a day, and soak it continuously for about a week to heal.

If the turtle is seriously ill (refuses to eat and can no longer open its eyes), it should be soaked in an antibiotic solution (containing 500-1000 units of antibiotics per ml) for more than one hour every day, and then applied to the affected area with antibacterial eye ointment and placed in a dark place to promote the white secretion to fall off as soon as possible.

For turtles with severe symptoms (eye erosion), first remove the white matter and white necrotic epidermis in the eye, and continue to clean up if there is bleeding. The turtle is then soaked in a liquid containing B vitamins and oxytetracycline. The liquid medicine is prepared in the ratio of 1 2 tablets of oxytetracycline and 2 tablets of vitamin B per 500 grams of water.

Sick turtles may lose their eyesight.

If the ** green turtle is **, the eye area should be smeared with 1% furazolidone solution, and the method of full body immersion should not be used.

Or dissolve in feeding water with Medicin, 1 piece of glass goldfish tank per mouth, and this method should be used for green turtle disease. Streptomycin can also be dissolved in water, so that every 1 mg of water contains 100,000-200,000 international units, suitable for ** green turtles and other small water turtles and turtles disease.

Mild white eye disease, most common in juvenile Brazil.

Severe white eye disease, which can lead to blindness in both eyes.

I didn't look at your turtle, so I sent a look at it, and I sent a picture.

The eyes are blurred and can't be opened, and the mouth is not too open, it may be that there are many bacteria in the water, and you should change a basin of clean water from time to time, (but not too often, and the appropriate time: for example, once a day is about the same.) Only with a good living environment can you have a healthy body!

Observe for a few days to see if there is any such phenomenon, and if so, see a veterinarian immediately! (Love the turtle, the turtle is our friend!!) ）

Winter, it's a pity it's not summer, although you don't have many bounty points, but they are all turtle lovers, so I'll help you!!

Bask in the sun, bask for 2 or 3 hours, and it's OK! Give it a try!! Good luck.

It worked then}

1. Scabies:It is mostly found in aquatic turtles and semi-aquatic turtles. The source of the disease is the hydrophilic air unicellular spot subsp.

It is often found in water, turtles, intestines, etc. When the water environment is good, the turtle is a carrier of bacteria, and once the environment is polluted or the body surface is injured, the germs multiply in large numbers and cause the turtle to become sick. It is recommended to isolate the sick turtle, squeeze out all the contents of the scabies, rub the affected area with iodine wine, apply oxytetracycline powder, and then stuff a cotton ball coated with oxytetracycline or chlortetracycline eye ointment into the affected area.

2. Qinglao fibroids:When the baby turtle is infected with the virus, it may also grow fibrous local benign tumors, which need to be surgically removed as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to appear if it cannot be completely removed.

Turtle feeding precautions.

At this stage, the family turtle is mainly based on tap water, and the chlorine of tap water is harmful to turtles, which is a major element that causes turtle rot and rot (rot is the cause of the turtle itself, poor physique, trauma, etc., so it is not suitable for water quality). Therefore, the tap water turtle should be treated first, exposed to the sun, let stand for a few days, and the agent should be dechlorinated.

Many users raise grass turtles indoors, and the role of the sundeck is mainly to provide a terrestrial environment for turtles and turtles, and can be used to bask in the sun. The sundeck generally has a slope to facilitate turtles to climb onto the terrace. Grass turtles are amphibious, and if the turtle is not feeling well in the water, it can climb up to the sundeck, which helps turtle friends to observe the health of the turtle.

Turtles with white eye disease will not be able to eat in imitation of pickpockets, and if they are not timed**, they will die within 2 to 3 weeks. In order to prevent turtles from suffering from white eye disease, the container needs to be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for 2 to 3 hours during rearing for disinfection. Turtles suffer from white eye disease, most of which is caused by poor water quality, so it is necessary to change the water in time after the turtle eats and discharges.

Turtles with white eye disease will die in 2 3 weeks, turtles will not be able to see after the disease, resulting in inability to eat, if not done in time**, 2 3 weeks will die. However, white eye disease is easy to be detected in the early stage of the disease, and it is relatively easy to get up, as long as you change the water in time and apply chlortetracycline eye ointment to the eyes.

In order to prevent turtles from suffering from white eye disease, a clean and hygienic growth environment should be given during the feeding period, and the breeding containers should be sterilized and disinfected before lifting the elephant. The container can be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for 2 to 3 hours, drain the water, and wash it with water before use.

Turtles suffer from white eye disease, mostly caused by poor water quality, and when the turtle is sick, it will wipe its eyes with its forelimbs and become inseparable. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the water quality is clean and hygienic after discovery, and change the water in time after the turtle excretes and eats. Note that the temperature difference between the new water and the old water should not be consistent when changing the water.

In the most severe form of white eye disease, the symptoms are swollen eyes that turn a little white and cannot be opened to eat. This is a relatively common and incurable turtle, usually caused by poor water quality or pollution, many turtles die because of this disease, pain and inability to see things to eat. **Be patient in the process, drop chloramphenicol eye drops 2-3 times a day, give erythromycin eye ointment at night, and be consistent every day.

It was more difficult to carry out these relatively small ones for this larger turtle, because its strength was relatively large, and my hands often couldn't hold it, and it was always moving wildly, and it was very vigorous, and my nails scratched my hands several times. In addition, because the eyes are closed, the amount of ointment into the eyes is actually very small, coupled with the torture of illness, after the ointment it always grabs with its claws, and the ointment also scratches off a lot, so it is necessary to insist on taking medicine every day. In this way for about three months, the eyes still did not open, I lost a little confidence, but still insisted on taking medicine every day, and finally one day I found that the turtle's eyes were open, but there was a thick white film inside, I tried to use a cotton swab to get the white film out, this process is also very laborious, because the eyes are very sensitive, as soon as the cotton swab touches, the turtle will move hard, but in the end I still let me get it out, two white membranous things, the turtle's eyes can see the eyeballs when they open, But it still feels a little gray inside, and I insisted on dropping eye drops for 2 weeks, and finally my eyes are clear, and I feel quite accomplished.

1。Need dry breeding, first of all, the breeding water should be clean, you can change the breeding water 1 3 every day, you can take out the water from the water after the medicine in the morning, and put it in the water at night, feeding.

2。During the period, you have to bask in the sun, about 1 2 hours, no matter what time of day, you have to bask in the sun every day.

3。When applying the medicine, it should be slow and light, not with your hands, if it is not clean, you should apply it carefully with a cotton swab, if it is retracted, you can touch the shell on the tail of the turtle with your hands, from the center to both sides.

4。You can use ointment or eye drops, and the breeding water can be purified or boiled water, which is so clean, and you can also add a little salt to the water. The feeding business should be smaller and easier to eat, you can tease it more, and don't force it if you don't eat it.

Don't be anxious, with the owner's wholehearted care, the turtle will become more and more **.

The turtle is removed from monoculture, and then the rotten part of the sick turtle is removed, the affected area is scrubbed with hydrogen peroxide, and then directly applied with permanganate methyl crystal powder, or the affected area is smeared with other anti-inflammatory drugs. Panax notoginseng powder or fresh notoginseng medicine can also be used to compress the affected area of the diseased turtle. Speed, I wish the turtle a turtle**!!

Turtles not eating will affect their health and growth, the main reasons for turtles not eating and the corresponding treatment methods are introduced as follows, for the reference of turtle friends:

First, the temperature is low.

In general, when the temperature is below 25 degrees, the turtle's appetite will be reduced to a large extent, or even no appetite. Therefore, under normal circumstances, after the turtle wakes up from hibernation, it is necessary to analyze whether the turtle should eat according to the temperature. If the temperature is below 25 degrees for a long time (more than 3 days), it is generally normal for the turtle not to eat; If the temperature is higher than 25 degrees for a long time (more than 3 days), the turtle still does not eat, it is not normal.

For turtles that are caused by low temperatures, the treatment is to go with the flow, and when the temperature rises, the turtles will naturally eat.

Second, improper feeding.

It is the incorrect feeding method that causes the turtle not to eat. For example, feeding the turtle food that it does not want to eat, or placing the food in a way that makes it inconvenient for the turtle to eat, etc.

Third, the ground is not familiar.

It is the unfamiliarity of the environment that causes the turtle not to eat. The main manifestation is that after some turtles are bought, the new environment will make the turtles feel unfamiliar, uneasy and even fearful. In this case, it usually takes 3-7 days for the turtle to eat, and some turtles with poor acceptance of the new environment even take 1-2 weeks to eat.

For turtles that do not eat due to such reasons, the treatment method is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for the turtle as much as possible, minimize the interference to the turtle, and let the turtle adapt to the new environment as soon as possible.

Fourth, don't eat when you're sick.

It's the turtle that doesn't eat because it's sick. Some diseases, such as white eye disease, pneumonia, gastrointestinal diseases, etc., can cause the turtle to lose appetite, anorexia and refusal to eat. In this case, the turtle will only eat after the symptomatic ** disease.

Don't eat. That's sick.

Floating on the surface of the water is not.

If it is drifting, it may be pneumonia.

This is the disease that turtles are most likely to suffer.
