    It seems to be a white eye disease.

    Well, the white eye disease started out as a swollen circle around it, and then it slowly evolved to the point where the turtle's eyes couldn't see.

    Sometimes it's red and swollen, but it doesn't have to be white.

    Uh-huh, here's the ** method

    White-eye: White-eye disease is generally a disease caused by fungal infection due to poor water quality or excessive feeding density. When a turtle is sick, it is difficult to open its eyes because the eyes are swollen and the outside of the eyes is covered by white discharge.

    Diseased turtles often rub their forelimbs against their eyes, slow to move, and even go on a hunger strike.

    **。1. Dry raising. Avoid light as much as possible. Give the turtle a quiet place to recuperate.

    2. Eye drops with chloramphenicol. Three times a day. One drop at a time. (Be careful not to get into the nose and mouth of the turtle) 3, you can bask in the sun for 10 minutes a day, which has a sterilizing effect.

    4. If the turtle has already started a hunger strike, you can soak glucose every day (drink glucose powder, glucose mixed with water may taste a little sweet. )

    5. Vitamin C can be soaked every other day to enhance disease resistance.

    In fact, if there are conditions, it is best to go to the flower, bird, fish and insect market to buy special drugs for turtles and turtles to treat their eyes

    If possible, keep the water temperature at around 27 degrees Celsius and change the water frequently.
