What should I do if my baby Brazilian turtle can t open its eyes?

Your tortoise is clearly suffering from white eye disease.

Go to the pharmacy and buy a chloramphenicol eye drop (liquid) and erythromycin eye ointment (paste). It adds up to less than 10 yuan. During the day, use chloramphenicol eye drops, drop the eyes of the turtle, 3 or 4 times a day, the eye drops should work for about 10 minutes before you can enter the water, otherwise the water will be equal to white drops after the drops.

At night, before you go to bed, apply eye ointment to the eye area. The eye ointment is waterproof, and with the eye ointment applied, it can be put into the water. Don't worry, it's all anti-inflammatory.

Stick to it for a week and you'll get better. The only thing to be aware of is that it has been accidentally injured by others. Also, wash your hands after doing it, and don't rub your eyes directly.

Turtle white eye can be passed on to humans.

Note: The temperature is too low to be good for turtles**, and it is recommended that the water should be warmed to 28 degrees in winter, which is good for turtles**.

In fact, it depends on the creation of your turtle, it may be hibernation (the brown film may protect the eyes) as for not eating because of hibernation, change the water frequently, bathe the turtle frequently, ask me face to face, if the situation is serious, it is recommended to send it to the hospital, the little turtle is useless, my turtle has ignored her for half a month, and she is still lively and cute. There is also a possibility that you have white eye disease, get more sun, go to the pet pharmacy and buy some ointment to apply to it, the effect is not bad.

This kind of turtle was taken out and sold when it was just born, it is not easy to feed, and it does not eat much, and the precursor of the general turtle's poor condition is that the eyes are not good, so if your turtle shell is a little soft, it is basically hopeless, bask in the sun more, put a little water to keep it moist, if the shell is not soft, penicillin ointment, squeeze it in water, a little, about 3 cm long ointment, 2 mm thick, with a tablespoon of water, and then soak the turtle in water for a few minutes, once a day... Whether you live or not depends on creation.

Hello, the following is up to me to your questions, thank you for your consultation Hello 1We can give chloramphenicol eye drops to baby turtles. Three times a day can be increased according to the condition, but up to five times a day.

After the drop, we should pay attention to put the baby turtle on the surface of the water for about 5 minutes, and wait for the medicine to absorb before putting it back into the water. However, it is also best not to exceed the minimum height of the tortoiseshell. It can be used for three days, and after the inflammation around the eyes is removed, it is best to raise it with boiled water, and wait for the tap water with chlorine remover to be replaced completely.

2.Sick turtles need to be fed separately in isolation. You also need to put it in the sun for 30 minutes every day, and pay attention to not strong light.

3.Although the baby turtle wants to need water, the general soaking time is about 20-30 minutes, and you can't soak too much. Because the eyes of the baby turtle cannot be opened, it is mainly related to the water quality, and the young turtle has poor physique, if it is hot in summer, the water quality decay rate will be increased.

4.Turtles that don't have an appetite are to be artificially fed. It is also best to feed turtle food, and you can feed it in the water when the food is normal.

Diagnosis of white eye disease: In the early stage of white eye disease, the eye produces a small amount of discharge, inflammation, congestion, and swelling. In the middle and late stages, the conjunctiva is fully infected and adhesed, the cornea is eroded, the transient membrane is severely infected, hyperemic, whitish, thickened, covering the eyeball, the eyes are closed, refusing to eat or even water, and the spirit is aggrieved.

**: 1. For mild to moderate infection, use chloramphenicol eye drops during the day once an hour, and apply erythromycin eye ointment at night. Oral azithromycin.

2. For severe infection, it is recommended to use injectable antibiotics. Topical chloramphenicol eye drops and erythromycin eye ointment.

Advice: Do not try to peel off and cut off the congested, whitish, thickened white membrane that covers the eyeball from the infection, because it is the instantaneous membrane in the turtle's eye.

If necessary (after a few days of injectable antibiotics), smooth forceps can be used to gently scrape and clip off the yellow pus or abscess that is not easy to drain on the surface of the conjunctiva and transient membrane. When cleaning the yellow pus or abscess between the instantaneous membrane and the cornea, the cleaning method of pushing, squeezing and clamping is used, and the operation must be carried out with extra care. The infection, blood-congested, whitish, and thickened transient membrane covering the eyeball, under the action of antibiotics, will slowly ** return to a normal state.
