    Prevention and control of common diseases.

    Generally speaking, turtles are more adaptable and resistant to disease, and are less susceptible to disease. When breeding in captivity, as long as you pay attention to cleaning and sanitation at all times, and often change the water in the breeding pond, the turtle will generally not get sick. Sometimes, however, diseases and predators such as the following can occur

    1.Cold Sick turtles are slow to move, their nose is bubbling, and their mouth is often open, which can be regarded as a cold.

    **Method: The turtle can be dissolved in water with cold spirit and analgin, and 0 2 ml of gentamicin can be injected into the muscle of the turtle's hind legs; Or inject 10,000 units of penicillin, and large turtles weighing more than 0 5 kg can increase the dosage to 50,000 units per injection. Generally, it can be cured after 3 days of continuous medication and injection.

    2.Enteritis is mostly caused by intestinal bacteria infection caused by water pollution or feed spoilage. The symptoms are that the head of the sick turtle often looks left and right, and the stool is sticky and blood-red"and extremely fishy; Loss of appetite and emaciation.

    **Method: Change the water and feed fresh bait several times a day; Intramuscular injection of chlortetracycline or chloramphenicol, each sick turtle per milliliter, and the injection amount of large turtles weighing more than kilograms can be increased to 1 milliliter for 3 consecutive days. and add a small amount of chloramphenicol or dysentery to the bait and feed it.

    3.Mycosis.

    This disease is mostly caused by mold infection after the turtle epidermis is bruised, which is manifested as reddish-white epidermal necrosis and mildew spots in severe cases.

    Prevention and control methods: In the process of transportation, stocking, and transfer pool capture, the operation should be careful to avoid injury to the turtle body. If a turtle is injured before entering the pool, apply 1% malachite green ointment or sulfonamide ointment to the affected area.

    Once a sick turtle is found, it should be isolated in time and disinfected with 20%-30% lime water; The whole body of the sick turtle is coated with purple potion for 7 days, and a small amount of oxytetracycline powder can also be added to the feed for 3 days.

    4.Molluscosis.

    The disease is mostly caused by malnutrition and lack of sunlight, and is manifested by loss of appetite, general weakness, malaise, sluggishness, and slow growth.

    **Method: Feed with full price feed with good palatability and rich nutrition, and add calcium tablets to the feed; Enhance the number of sunshine hours, and expose the sun to sunlight 2 to 3 times a day.

    5.Predators The natural predators of turtles are mainly rats, ants, snakes, and certain birds. Rats are the most harmful, can bite turtles or even bite to death, ants often crawl to eat turtle eggs with cracks, so in the management of breeding, attention should be paid to prevent the invasion of these natural enemies.

    Presumably many people have had the experience of raising baby turtles, and sometimes there is a problem of turtle eye disease in the process of breeding, so what is Brazilian turtle white eye disease**? How is white-eye treatment in Brazilian tortoise? Let's take a look.

    Turtles. Brazilian tortoise white-eye**: high stocking density, excessive alkaline water quality. The disease is more common in red-eared turtles and turtles, and the incidence rate is higher in young turtles. The onset season is more common in spring, autumn and early spring after wintering.

    Turtles. Symptoms of white eye in Brazilian turtles: The eyes of the sick turtle are inflamed and congested, and the eyes are swollen.

    The cornea and nasal mucosa of the eye are eroded due to inflammation of the eye, the outside of the eyeball is covered by white secretions, and there is inflammation inside the eye. Sick turtles often rub their eyes with their forelimbs, and their movements are sluggish and they no longer feed. In severe cases, the sick turtle loses sight in its eyes, and the turtle becomes thinner and weaker and dies.

    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.

    **Option 1:

    1.Soak it in strong tea (listen to the turtle seller).

    2.Experience: I tried this method, and after soaking for one night, the turtle's eye was healed smoothly, but this method sometimes fails, and sometimes repeatedly;

    **Option 2:

    1.Use chloramphenicol eye drops, three times (according to the degree of serious illness, but not more than five times), alone, remember not to be exposed to light, in a dry and cool place;

    2.Baby turtles need water a lot, unlike big turtles, which need to soak in water more often a day (about five times).

    3.If the appetite is normal, it is fed in water, and if there is no appetite, it is artificially fed. But pay attention to the amplitude, feed turtle food during illness;

    4.One week is a course of treatment, if the condition of the baby turtle improves quickly, use another course of treatment, if there is no improvement, you have to change;

    5.Experience: When the method of giving the turtle turtle has no effect, give it a drop of chloramphenicol, the effect is obvious, but it is very reluctant to feed;

    **Option 3:

    1.Monoculture, soaked in a solution of amracillin (or amazodone). Cone turtles use 20 mg at a concentration. Baby turtles use 30 mg liters to become the same as young turtles. 40 minutes at a time, 3 to 5 days at a time;

    2.Chloramphenicol is still used for the eyes, three times;

    3.The feeding method refers to plan 2;

    4.Experience: The feeding problem of the turtle is more difficult, and it is very difficult to swallow, so I have to soak the turtle food and break it and put egg yolk powder on it, and slowly fill it up, and after two weeks, the eyes of the baby turtle finally improved, and the rest is the nutritional problem.

    Amoxicillin is rarely used for white eye disease, and other drugs are recommended.

    1.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 socks for 40 minutes every day with a concentration of 30 milliliters, and soak them continuously for about a week to heal.

    2.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.

    3.For turtles with severe symptoms (eye erosion), first remove the white matter and white necrotic epidermis from the eyes, 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.

    I think it's useful, give it a thumbs up.

Erythromycin can.

As long as the white eye disease is not very serious, it will generally improve on its own as long as it is dry and nourished for a while. Because this disease is usually caused by water quality problems, it is important to get it out of the problematic water first. However, because the turtle is a water turtle and cannot leave the water for a long time, it should be bathed with clean water two or three times a day during the dry breeding stage, and the bathing time is about 15 minutes each time. >>>More
