Second, the best method of turtle rot nail disease

The method of turtle rot varies depending on the severity of the disease:

1. The best method for mild illness:

You can first use a toothpick to clean the dead nails and slag samples floating in the affected area of the sick turtle, and then use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect its affected part, and then dry the sick turtle for two weeks, during which it can be soaked in water 2 3 times a day, after the sick turtle force water, dry the body of the sick turtle in time, and then clean and disinfect the affected area of the sick turtle with hydrogen peroxide, and then apply erythromycin eye ointment or Yunnan Baiyao to it after the disinfection is completed, and use it once a day, 1 2 weeks for a course of treatment.

The following measures are taken to deal with it: after the blade is disinfected, use the blade to remove the erosive parts of the diseased turtle, such as floating dead nails and slag samples, then rinse the affected area with 3% hydrogen peroxide or normal saline, and then use 5% povidone-iodine solution to disinfect it once, and finally apply antibiotic ointment or antibiotic powder to the affected area, and change it every two days.

In addition, after local treatment, it is necessary to pay attention to systemic antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent complications, such as oral penicillin drugs can be given to sick turtles for anti-inflammatory.
