    The turtle suffered from conjunctivitis (i.e., white eye disease).

    Conjunctivitis is seen in all other turtles and can range from mild inflammation to full-ocular inflammation and can also be caused by infectious stomatitis. Rinse with an antibiotic solution (neomycin or streptomycin) and add vitamin A in all cases.

    The water should be changed frequently, the water 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. You can give it a try using the methods above.

    See if his eyes are like blistered goldfish or have white pus in his eyes, if so, it means that he has white eye, just apply chlortetracycline eye ointment to his eyes.

    When they are sick, they will not eat and need to be forcibly fed. Cut the shrimp into pieces and feed them to eat.

    It is best not to feed the tortoise and eat meat, otherwise it is easy to go blind. If there's more sun, get a little sun.

    White eye disease (also called swollen eye disease).

    The disease is very contagious, but most of the cases are caused by sanitation problems. Change the water frequently to keep the water clean and the chance of infection will be reduced. In addition, regular feeding of raw meat can also easily cause white eye disease.

    With chloramphenicol eye drops.

    or chlortetracycline ophthalmic ointment.

    Drops or chloramphenicol eye drops are sufficient, which are relatively safe and effective.

    If the white membrane is serious, the white membrane must be removed, so that it can be effective, and the application can be applied directly to the turtle's eyes.

    Do not feed the turtle while it has white eye to avoid polluting the water.

    For less severe turtles (those who can still open their eyes and can actively eat), the turtle can be soaked in low-concentration salt water.

    If the turtle is seriously ill (refuses to eat and can no longer open its eyes), it should be soaked in an antibiotic solution, such as chlortetracycline or erythromycin, for more than one hour every day, and then applied with antibacterial eye ointment to the affected area, 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), the white matter and white in the eye are first necrotic.

    The epidermis is cleared and should be continued if bleeding occurs. The turtle is then soaked in vitamin B and.

    Oxytetracycline in the solution.

    As for how much the medicine is, it's OK to go to the pharmacy and ask. It is generally sold in pharmacies.
