    Erythromycin ointment is not OK Once the turtle is dipped in water, the ointment and water will be more serious!!

    Also, many people are talking about using normal salts to treat them, which is like treating wounds!

    In fact, turtles are the same as people, if the human eye is sick, can it be treated with salt water?

    It will only make the turtle blind with salt, and do not use salt water!!

    I know a lot of people are getting sick with their turtles.

    I often hear netizens say that the eyes of the turtles raised have turned white and they can't open their eyes.

    This is especially true at the beginning of spring. Most of the main causes are caused by deterioration of water quality or excessive alkalinity of water quality. The onset season is spring, autumn and the spring after wintering is the peak epidemic period.

    All I can say is the general symptoms.

    Symptoms: The eyes of the sick turtle are inflamed and congested, and the eyes are swollen. The cornea and mucous membranes of the eye are eroded due to inflammation of the eye, and the outside of the eyeball is covered by white secretions, and the eye cannot be opened.

    Sick turtles often rub their eyes with their forelimbs, move slowly, stop eating in severe cases, and finally die of exhaustion due to weakness complicated by other diseases.

    For turtles with mild symptoms and barely open eyes, they can be soaked in a solution of nitrofurancillin or furanone with a concentration of 30 milligrams. Soak for 40 minutes. Soak for 5 days continuously.

    For those who are seriously ill and can not open their eyes, first remove the white matter and white necrotic epidermis in the eyes, and continue to clean up if there is bleeding, and then soak the turtle in a solution with vitamin B and oxytetracycline solution, and put oxytetracycline and 2 tablets of vitamin B in every 500 grams of water. Strengthen water management, pay attention to cleanliness and sanitation and remove leftover bait in a timely manner, and at the same time appropriately control the density of feeding.

    Ciprofloxacin eye drops or Fuping take eye drops twice a day, and put the turtle in a dry place to bask in the sun after the medicine. If you are seriously ill, you can open the turtle eye, wash the eyes with normal saline, wash away the pus, and then take a medicated bath.

    In addition, there are many abnormal bacteria, and turtle seedlings are prone to white eye disease; The second is the problem of bacteria, the turtle seedlings of different farmers are cultivated together, or the water quality is poor, the bacteria are cross-infected, and the virus increases, so it is easy to suffer from white eye disease. The third is the physical problem of turtle seedlings, which are prone to white eye disease due to poor constitution and low resistance. For example, some people use incubators or heating to make turtle seedlings not hatch for the proper number of days and give birth prematurely, and turtle seedlings have poor constitution and are prone to white eye disease.

    and cause kidney function.

    Damage. 3. If the turtle is not starving because the owner does not feed it, then it is necessary to observe the realization of the turtle in time to prevent the turtle from being sick and starving.

    2. The environment is not adaptable

Turtles are omnivores, the basic food can be fed to the turtle, but do not feed a food for a long time, it is easy to cause malnutrition, the use of turtle special feed can meet the daily nutritional needs, a month before the turtle hibernates, the owner should feed a little more food, so that it stores energy.
