My turtle was bitten by a dog. What should I do if my turtle s foot is bitten by another turtle?

He had a dog at home, and one day I came home to find that the dog had bitten my beloved turtle all over the body

If the turtle's foot is bitten by another turtle, you can apply some chlortetracycline eye ointment and some iodine wine.

Mountain turtles or grass turtles. During the conservation period, the tortoise can heal on its own after being bitten by a companion. However, care should be taken during the conservation period not to infect the wound site of the turtle with bacteria.

After a turtle is bitten by a companion, in order to avoid infection of the wound, an appropriate amount of iodine can be applied to it. After applying the medicine, do not put the turtle in the original growth environment, you can put it in a dry environment on land for 3 6 days.

During the maintenance period, it is necessary to ensure that the turtle has 30 minutes of soaking time every day, and the turtle shell can be covered with a wet towel to replenish its moisture. Later, after the wound has healed, it can be placed in the original growth environment.

Common sense of turtle feeding:

1. Feeding containers.

Storage boxes, logistics boxes, fish tanks, etc. can all be used to raise baby turtles. Before feeding, it should be disinfected with light salt water, potassium permanganate dilution, etc., and rinsed with water repeatedly after disinfection. The height of the container should not be too shallow, and the inner wall should not be too rough, because the baby turtle has a strong climbing ability, and a container that is too shallow and rough can easily allow it to escape from prison.

2. Water for feeding.

The water for raising baby turtles can be tap water that has been dried in the sun for more than two days, well water, etc. After drying, it can remove harmful substances such as chlorine in the water, and at the same time can promote the reproduction of algae and probiotics in the water. Baby turtles are more stressful, and it takes a long time to adapt to the water quality after arriving in a new environment, and the direct use of tap water will cause baby turtles to suffer from various diseases such as rotten skin and rotten nails, white eye disease, etc.

3. Feeding temperature.

The optimal growth temperature for baby turtles is between 25-30 degrees, too high a temperature can cause heat stroke in baby turtles, and too low a temperature can cause baby turtles to stop feeding. In the summer, raising baby turtles should do a good job of preventing heatstroke and cooling down to avoid the death of baby turtles from heat stroke.

4. Illumination. When raising baby turtles, it is necessary to set up a sundeck with a gentle slope and exposed water surface in the water, so that the baby turtles can climb out of the water to rest and dry their backs at any time. Receiving proper light every day is of great significance to baby turtles, which can not only promote the synthesis of vitamin D3 in their bodies to speed up calcium absorption, but also effectively prevent the occurrence of various diseases.

5. Food. Baby turtles can be raised using a variety of juvenile water turtle food, or they can be fed fish and shrimp meat. When feeding fish and shrimp, cut the food into appropriate shapes, too large food is not conducive to the small turtle to eat, and pay attention to clean up the fish bones, shrimp guns and other hard residues in the food, so as not to scratch the stomach and esophagus of the small turtle. It can be fed once a day, and the amount of each feeding is preferably that the baby turtle can eat within 5 minutes.

First, if this situation is discovered, it must be kept separately.

Second, whether there is bleeding or ulceration in the bite area, it must be checked, and if there is a problem, it must be **.

Thirdly, most of the people in this situation are competing for food, and the solution is to feed them.

Fourth, if it is not of the same kind, then biting each other is normal and must be separated.

Fifth, it is also possible that the feeding point is too small, resulting in insufficient living space, so increase the feeding point to see.

After being bitten by a turtle, the wound should be actively cleaned, because there will be more bacteria in the turtle's mouth, and if it is not treated properly, it is easy to develop local infection. Since turtles do not carry the rabies virus themselves, they do not need to be vaccinated against the rabies virus if they are bitten by a turtle, but they can have more bacteria in their mouths. Animal bites should still be cleaned more thoroughly, the wound can be cleaned with soapy water at home, and the wound can be repeatedly rinsed with iodine, hydrogen peroxide, saline and other preparations in the hospital.

When necessary, the inactivated or necrotic tissue in the wound can be excised, so that the wound is in a relatively clean environment, which is more beneficial to wound healing. Because turtle bites tend to cause serious contamination, tetanus antitoxin can also be selectively applied in treatment, and combined with topical or systemic antibiotics to reduce the possibility of wound infection. During the wound healing period, it is necessary to keep the wound clean and dry, and the necessary bandaging and corresponding dressing changes and disinfection treatments are beneficial to the healing of the wound.

1. Generally speaking, if the wound is not particularly serious, the turtle will slowly heal itself after a period of isolation and rearing, but if it is a more serious situation, such as wound inflammation and other phenomena, we need to help the turtle and turtle deal with the wound. Turtles with severe wounds will repel water, and eat abnormally, the wound is red, swollen and smelly, and the ** or carapace at the wound has signs of decay. In such a situation, we have to start preparing to give the turtle ** wound.

2. We must prepare the supplies needed for the wounds of the turtle. Iodophor is the best for the disinfection of general trauma, and it is essential to disinfect the wound of turtles and turtles in the process, so be sure to prepare enough. Cotton swabs are used to wipe turtle wounds, disinfect turtle wounds, and apply medicine.

Erythromycin eye ointment reduces inflammation in turtle wounds in the early stage. Yunnan Baiyao (powdered) is used to make turtle wounds convergent and heal in the later stage.

If a turtle is found to have been bitten in polyculture conditions, immediate action must be taken. Soaking the wound in water can cause inflammation and infection, if the bleeding can be stopped, it is fine, when the wound is too large, the blood flow is not only in addition to the risk of ischemia, it is more likely to be used as food by other turtles, and the consequences are unimaginable. What's more, turtles can be severely frightened after being bitten, and the result is a severe stress response.

Stress can really kill a turtle, so we have to deal with it as soon as we find out. Trauma after a turtle bite is not contagious, but it must be isolated**.

A critical step is disinfection. Because there will be certain bacteria in the mouth of the turtle, plus bacteria in the environment and water, the possibility of infection is very high, so disinfection is the top priority. If the turtle's wound is still bleeding, stop the bleeding first and then disinfect it.

The most common drug used to stop bleeding is Yunnan Baiyao, after stopping the bleeding, use sterilized tweezers and small scissors to thoroughly clean the wound site, and then rinse the wound with 3% hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, etc. When the wound surface is large or very severe, anti-inflammatory powder or antibiotic powder can be sprinkled directly on the wound surface. After the treatment is completed, suture or bandage measures should be taken according to the situation.

Of course, it is relatively rare to use sutures or bandaging, and it is very difficult for us to have no professional tools and techniques, so it is best to find a pet hospital to take a look.

After the disinfection is completed, the wound should not be wetted and should be dried in a dry place. Both water turtles and semi-water turtles need to be hydrated regularly and rehydrated. The way of operation is relatively simple, you can put a small water basin in the breeding environment, let the turtle drink water, you can also use a cotton swab dipped in water to moisten the turtle's ** and turtle back, this method is more easy to use, because it is a dry relationship, the frequency of feeding is appropriately reduced, because most of the water turtles can not swallow on land, so, you can put food in a small water basin, so that the turtle can eat with water lubrication.

Of course, at this time, it is still necessary to use turtle food, and animal feed should not be fed, one is too troublesome, and the other is easy to cause wound infection.

It is best to disinfect once a day, and after the disinfection is completed, you can apply antibiotic ointment, which can speed up the healing of the wound. At the same time, because it is a dry and rearing relationship, the sun should be less to prevent dehydration of the turtle, and when it is okay, the turtle should be placed in a cool place to rest, which can speed up the recovery of the wound. The duration of dry rearing does not need to be too long, and after the turtle has healed, you can slowly try to enter the water.

<> turtles can heal on their own if they are bitten by their companions, but they are also at risk of death if they become infected during the healing process. Normally, after a turtle is bitten, it needs to be smeared with iodophor for the first time, and at the same time, it needs to be dried for a period of time, as long as it is soaked in water for 30 minutes a day. In addition, a small amount of feeding is required, and the rest of the time can be covered with a wet towel, and it is enough for a week**.

There are many types of turtles, and some of them are more aggressive, such as snapping turtles, which will attack when they feel threatened. However, most turtles are still very docile, not very good at biting, and their bite force is not very strong. Usually when bitten, it needs to be put in water so that it can loosen its mouth, and then the wound needs to be treated to avoid bacterial infection.

There are many types of turtles, and some common ornamental turtles are more docile, such as Brazilian turtles and grass turtles, which rarely bite people, and occasionally mistake their fingers for food. There are also some turtles that are more aggressive, like snapping turtles, which not only bite people, but the bite force is not generally strong, and even bite off fingers. So be careful, don't provoke them, and don't reach out when feeding.

Usually being bitten by a turtle is divided into two situations, the first is that it bites by mistake while eating, this situation is generally mild, and it will not bleed, as long as you wash your hands. The second is that it gets angry and does not let go after biting, at this time you need to put it in the water, or prick its neck with a sharp object, so that it will also loosen. Don't shake it when you are bitten, otherwise it will bite harder and may even bleed.

If the bite bleed, you need to clean the wound with soapy water, apply a little iodine to disinfect, and then use antibiotics to prevent bacterial infection, and do not touch water in the near future.

3. How to prevent being bitten.

Turtles are generally not bitten, so you can throw food into the water and not get too close to them. Don't usually poke him with your fingers, as this will make him feel threatened, and if he is more grumpy, he may bite it.

When we are bitten by a turtle, don't be nervous and relax. Just look for soft objects around you as soon as possible and use them to pinch the turtle's nose. Method 2:

Take a bucket or basin, fill it with water, and put the turtle in the water with your fingers attached. When it got into the water, it naturally fled. Method 3:

Knock the turtle on the head. Method 4: If none of the above works, then use the last resort and chop off its head with a knife.

This is the last trick you want to use, after all, it is too cruel. And you don't dare to tease the turtle that bites it so fiercely.
