How do turtles use iodine, and do you put iodine in the water in which turtles are raised?

Potassium permanganate can be used as an option.

Disinfection of hydrogen peroxide, salt water, etc., of course, iodophor can also be used.

However, iodophor is higher in alcohol. No matter which one is used, it should be thoroughly cleaned after disinfection, and it is generally used to soak it for 24 hours to avoid drug residues. If it's rotten, here's how:

Dry raising, in addition to soaking in water every day, do not touch the water and alcohol to clean the rot and rot skin, wash the rot skin, and then scrape the rot with a knife, and then apply chlortetracycline eye ointment on the rot skin, smear salt in the rot at the rot and soak in water 3 times a day, 10 30 minutes each time, soak in water while basking in the sun and feeding, the water level is not over the wound, and the abdominal armor can be changed every day, pay attention to see if the wound begins to heal and scar, but to limit the turtle's activity environment, And keep it clean and hygienic, and properly supplement some calcium and vitamin D3 when feeding

Turtles can be sterilized with iodine, but in small amounts, please soak them in clean water after disinfection.

Iodine. The main effect is to play the role of disinfection and sterilization through strong redox ability. From a scientific point of view, the iodophor in the turtle feeding water can play a sanitizing role.

However, from a health point of view, iodophor sterilization also breaks the balance of the water environment, which is not conducive to the survival of turtles in the long run.

Extended information: There are many types of turtles, but the turtle in general refers to the Chinese grass turtle.

This turtle is a reptile of the genus Hydrochlorosaurus in the family Turtleidae.

The head is relatively small, the front part of the top of the head is smooth, the dorsal carapace is also flattened, the claws are webbed, the ventral carapace is brownish-yellow, and the males have a foul smell. It is a semi-aquatic and semi-terrestrial species, with a very gentle personality, and when it encounters predators, it will shrink its head, tail and limbs into its shell, and its own feeding habits are also very mixed.

There are many types of turtles, including the red-eared turtle and the Brazilian tortoise.

There are also grass turtles and flower turtles.

Wait a minute. It is an omnivore of amphibians, so there are many types of turtle food**. In addition, turtles have the habit of hibernation, belong to ectotherms, have a gentle personality, and are suitable for social living.

There are many types of turtles, including water turtles and tortoises.

and amphibian turtles. Among them, amphibian turtles are not suitable for deep water environment, and they belong to diving turtles. Turtles also prefer to bask in the sun.

Turtles breathe with their lungs and need to swim up to breathe after being in the water for a while. There are many types of meat that can be fed to turtles, such as live fish, live shrimp, and offal. It is also possible to feed special turtle food.

The turtle has a good personality and does not fight, and its hard carapace can protect itself in case of danger. In winter, when the temperature drops below 15 degrees, turtles will also hibernate to reduce their metabolism.

When raising turtles, it is necessary to change the water regularly to keep the water clean, and potassium permanganate can be used.

Disinfect the container in which the turtle is kept. The food fed is fresh, and adult turtles can be fed once every two days and have a bowel movement once a week. No food is required during hibernation.

Yes, iodophor is actually what turtle friends often call polyvitamin iodine, but the polyvitamin iodine that specializes in turtle and turtle supplies seems to be more professional in the hearts of turtle friends. Iodophor has a property that it quickly loses its effect after contact with water, and the most effective time is within 10 minutes, and it is useless after half an hour. Therefore, it is good to soak the turtle directly with water, and put it in the turtle tank in addition to making the water yellow, and it will soon have no other effect.

You can put it, but it is recommended to put it this way, so that it will have an impact on the turtle to some extent. You can use povidone-iodine solution even better.

After the turtle is injured, it can be disinfected with iodophor, because iodophor is a kind of external bactericidal drug, which has a good disinfection effect on the external injury of the turtle.

However, the effect of iodophor is relatively simple, it can only be disinfected, and it cannot have a good effect on wounds or diseases.

If the turtle is seriously injured, in addition to applying iodophor, it is necessary to use other drugs for it**.

The tortoise's body decay may be suffering from nail rot, in which case iodophor can be used to disinfect it. The keeper can use a cotton swab dipped in some iodine and apply it to the rotten area, which can play a role in sterilization and disinfection.

When turtles are sick with rotting nail disease, keepers need to keep them dry on land, but they need to soak in water regularly to speed up their recovery. They should also be exposed to more sunlight, which can also play a role in sterilization and disinfection. If it is a slight rot, it can be cured after a few days.

If it is a more serious rot, it should also be combined with drugs such as oxytetracycline and potassium permanganate.

The effect is definitely there.

The reason for the tortoise rotting armor is generally because the shelling is the lesion caused by the invasion of bacteria after the damage, and the role of iodophor and hydrogen peroxide is to disinfect and sterilize, and the further diffusion of the printed rot should be carried out after wiping, and it should be properly dried and nourished after wiping, and it has been soaked in water and is not conducive to the healing of the wound. It is useful, first dig up the bad shell, and then wipe it with hydrogen peroxide, and then dry raise, dry hoaring to ensure humidity, and it will be good to use iodine volt slowly in the later stage, pay attention to regular maintenance.

If it is a young turtle, it should not be rubbed directly with iodine, but should be diluted, otherwise it will get white eye disease.

1.Rotten Shell Disease.

Symptoms: White spots appear on the back shell or bottom plate of the turtle at first, and slowly form red lumps, which are pressed hard, and blood is squeezed out.

Prevention method: Pick the epidermis of the affected area, squeeze out the blood, rub it with salt, rinse it immediately after wiping, once a day for 1 week. You can also use Zijinding vinegar to mix well until it is paste, and then apply it to the affected area several times.

2.Water quality diseases.

The deterioration of water quality, the excessive presence of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, methane, carbon dioxide, etc., and the lack of terrestrial habitat for turtles, led to turtle poisoning.

Symptoms: The limbs of the turtle's neck are red and swollen, and in severe cases, they are ulcerated.

Prevention and control methods: change the water regularly, remove dirt and excrement frequently, when the disease occurs, replace all the pool water, if there is ulceration, antibiotics and other anti-inflammatory can be used to control the secondary infection of red-eared turtles.

3.Trauma, rotten skin disease.

**: Most of them are caused by infection with Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and Chromobacterium after being bitten by each other or by objects.

Symptoms: The main manifestations of the diseased turtle are erosion of the limbs, neck and tail, tissue necrosis, whitening and red scars.

Prevention and control methods: 1. To prevent injuries to the turtle body caused by various reasons, special attention should be paid to long-distance transportation and catching turtles.

2. When the turtle body is found to be injured, antibiotic drugs (such as penicillin, chloramphenicol or erythromycin, etc.) should be used to bathe, splash or inject the whole pool with good efficacy. The use of sulfonamides for medicated baths is also effective.

It is okay to use iodophor to rot on the tortoise's body, but iodophor has a certain corrosiveness, and can only be applied to the rotten area, and the turtle cannot be soaked in iodophor potion.

Iodophor only has the effect of disinfection, and does not have a good effect on the decay of turtles, and the keeper can be combined with erythromycin ointment or oxytetracycline and other drugs for it.

After applying the drug, the turtle can be kept in a dry environment for a while and then put it back in the water after the drug has been absorbed.

The carapace of turtles may be caused by bacterial invasion after the carapace is broken, and their carapace is relatively hard, so as long as there is no injury, they basically do not decay. However, once the shell is injured, bacteria can easily invade the tortoise's dorsal carapace, causing their dorsal carapace to rot.

When a tortoise first develops a carrion, white spots appear on its body, and as the disease progresses, red spots slowly form. If you squeeze it hard, there will be blood. In the later stages, the entire back armor is likely to decay.

<> turtle finished applying iodine.

Don't wash it, it will lose the effect of iodophor after washing. To raise this animal, you should prepare a turtle tank with empty branches, spread sand on the allergy noodles of the bucket, and then inject the trapped tap water, feed it some food every day, and then let it dry its back. It is necessary to note that it is an ectothermic animal.

Its activity is affected by temperature, it is more active in spring, summer and autumn, and enters a state of hibernation in winter, at this time it needs to prepare sand or coconut soil to burrow into it for the winter.
