    White Eye Disease ** Method:

    1. Dry raising, soak in cold boiled water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening; 20 minutes is sufficient. (Because the pathogen of this disease is anaerobic bacteria, it is easy to spread and spread in a humid environment or water, so dry culture is used**.) )

    2. When soaking in water, use a container as small as possible, slightly larger than a turtle. The water level is slightly higher than the turtle's back.

    3. Use chloramphenicol eye drops to the eyes, multiple times a day. It doesn't matter if your eyes don't open, just put them on your eyelids and do it a few more times. (Don't try to remove the coat of white film artificially, especially for novices, it is easy to hurt the eyeball.) )

    4. Apply chlortetracycline eye ointment (or erythromycin) to your eyes overnight before going to bed every night. Chlortetracycline is used alternately with erythromycin.

    5. Use disinfectants such as povidone-iodine to thoroughly disinfect the turtle tank and other breeding environments, and expose them to the sun for disinfection!

    6. When the weather is cold, too low body temperature will hinder **, so it is necessary to use heating equipment to raise the temperature to about 26 degrees Celsius in order to recover.

    7. The course of treatment of this disease is long, and it is necessary to be patient and repeat for more than half a month. You must not stop the drug until you are cured, otherwise it will be easy**!

    8. In severe cases, injection** can be used, and the drugs can be gentamicin, cefradine, azithromycin and so on.

    Give it drops with eye drops (the kind for 1 dollar), just drop at a time, don't put it in the water after the drop, leave the water for two hours and put it in, just like this for a week. One of my grass turtles had this disease before, and that's how he looked good.

    Hold it up, clamp it on the inside of the big fade, and use a cotton swab to press it down with anti-inflammatory drugs or ointment, and put it on the eyeball for a week.

    Landlord, will the turtle's eyes be swollen and covered with a white substance?

    If the turtle's eyes are not particularly swollen, take them out and dry them. Eye drops three to five times a day (for people are fine) and erythromycin eye ointment once a day on the eyelids. If the eye is particularly swollen, you should use a cotton swab to remove the eye and drip the eye drops into it, (eye drops cannot be dropped in the water, that will not work) This is necessary, otherwise it will be more serious, because the concentrate has blocked the eye.

    Continue to apply with eye ointment in the evening.

    Focus: It is recommended that the landlord go to the supermarket to buy two storage boxes, which are also very cheap. The storage box should be a large one and a small one.

    Because for turtles that don't eat, have enteritis, have pneumonia and other problems, the best way is to warm up and recuperate, but how to do it if you have white eye. That's where the storage box comes in.

    Large storage boxes should be packed into small ones. You don't have to be much bigger than the small one, you can put the small one in it, and it's not particularly narrow. Then put water in the big one, and then put the heating rod in it and heat it up.

    Then put the small storage box in it, don't fill it with water, and don't cover it, because it's for turtles to raise. In this way, the turtle can be dried and raised at a suitable temperature and will not be cold. Then cover the large storage box, remember not to close it tightly, leave air outlets, and observe regularly.

    Can't be frequent (if you open it frequently, the temperature will leak and the turtle will catch a cold again.) )

    When it's time to replenish the turtle's water, just put it in that water, because the temperature is the same and will not be the same as usual. Wait for the turtle to be active before feeding the turtle.

    Then, the turtle has white eye disease, and its appetite will drop greatly, and it will become inactive. The landlord soaked some glucose and calcium tablets (ground) in water before heating to allow the turtle to replenish nutrients. When a turtle has white eye, it is best to bask in the sun, ultraviolet sterilization, and put the box in a place where it can get the sun.

    Because it is a low light, it will not be a problem to bask for four or five hours. In addition, the water vapor heated by the storage box moisturizes the turtle at any time.

    Finally: human hands are a lot of bacteria, when giving medicine to the turtle, when you take the turtle to pluck the eyes, when touching the chin, remember to wash your hands first. Many turtle friends' turtle water is very clean, why are there so many problems, it is that people's hands are dirty (bacteria don't need me to talk about it)...

    Is there any white swelling in the eyes? If there is, it is white eye disease, which is mostly caused by unclean water quality. Don't use direct tap water, use water that has been exposed to the sun for more than 1 day, and keep the water temperature between 25-27 degrees, if there is no disease, the turtle will eat naturally, I am also a turtle keeper, and currently have 2 grass turtles and 1 Brazilian turtle.

    Brazilian white-eye** (all personally tried).

    1. One of the best plans for the little turtle.

    1. Soak it in strong tea. (This is listening to the turtle seller).

    2. Experience: I have tried this method, and after soaking for a night, my smooth eyes have miraculously improved, but this method sometimes fails, and sometimes repeatedly.

    Second, the second plan of the small turtle.

    1. Use chloramphenicol eye drops, three times a day (according to the severity of the disease, you can add more, but not more than 5 times), keep alone, remember not to shine, to be in a dry and dry place.

    2. Small turtles need water very much, and they don't want to be like big turtles, so they should soak in water more every day (about five times, especially at noon in summer).

    3. If the appetite is normal, feed in the water, if you don't have an appetite, you need to be fed manually, but pay attention to the amplitude. It is best to use turtle food during illness (my family's Yoyo usually does not touch artificial turtle food).

    4. A week is a course of treatment, if the turtle's disease recovers soon, it will be used for a course of treatment, and if there is no improvement, the dressing should be changed.

    5. Experience: When my family used the first method for it, there was no effect, so I tried to give it chloramphenicol drops, and the effect was obvious. It's just that I'm very stubborn when feeding, and I feel like I'd rather die than touch the turtle food.

    3. The third plan of the small turtle.

    1. Monoculture, soaked in nitrofuransilin solution for 30min, once in the morning and once in the evening.

    2. Chloramphenicol should still be dropped into the eyes, three times a day.

    3. Feeding press 2 method.

    4. Experience: This is a classmate's turtle, when I first arrived at my house, I was as thin as a dried corpse, it was very difficult to swallow, so I could only soak the turtle food and crush it and put on the egg yolk powder, and slowly fill it up, after a full two weeks, the little guy finally improved, the eye disease was cured, and the rest was a nutritional problem.

    Recommendations: 1. Use injectable antibiotics**. Eyes stick on eye ointment.

    2. Warm and dry, soak in water 2 3 times a day.

    3. The original breeding box should be properly disinfected.

    **2: Swollen eyes caused by bacterial infection, micro-decay and whitishness. Dry off the water, bathe twice a day. Apply erythromycin ointment or chlortetracycline ointment to the eyes. If there is no improvement in 5 days, oral antibiotics are recommended**.

    Azithromycin is given orally for 5 days first, and if it improves, azithromycin is taken orally for 2 to 3 days after stopping the drug for two days. If there is no response, consider injectable antibiotics**.

    For external use: eye drops during the day and eye ointment at night.

    Brazilian tortoise white-eye.

    The white eyes that turtle friends are most afraid of are not terrible, but the key is the word "diligence"! However, the ** of white eye disease is very long, so many owners will lose confidence after a period of time, which will eventually lead to the death of the turtle.

    There are also a lot of ** methods of white eyes on the Internet, most of which are the suggestions of some experts and the ** experience of some turtle friends. Some of the effects are slower, and some of the descriptions are not detailed enough, so here are two more practical methods.

    First, lazy and efficient

    Sprinkle the powder with Pioneer 4 capsules on the eyes of the sick turtle, and then cover the powder with chlortetracycline eye ointment on the eyes for 1 3 days. Then soak the turtle into it, the conditions are the best, and the effect is very good. Severe cases can be recovered within 1 month.

    2. General-purpose

    Eye drops are applied. But to put it this way, it seems to be very general. In fact, eye drops have many different effects.

    What we call white eye disease is actually the instantaneous membrane inflammation of the turtle eye, which is somewhat similar to our human meningitis, so the best effect is to use eye drops for human ophthalmophitis, such as: rifampicin, cortisone, etc., the effect is good.

    Try to wipe it on the eyes, the sick turtle needs to be dried and raised, remember to schedule it every day, and you can dry it when you have time, and pay attention to the water quality in the future.

    Is it the kind of white eye that can't be opened after the eyes are separated by a layer of blisters? That's mostly due to mold. In fact, chloramphenicol has been tried many times by myself.

    Both tortoises and water turtles are more effective. But it depends on your patience. Insist on dropping chloramphenicol eye drops 3 times a day.

    If the turtle is dry, let it stay in a dish where there is no water to dry, and then put it in the water dish. Change the water once a day. It will be effective in one week.

    If hibernation now you feed. It doesn't eat either. You can choose small dried shrimp.

    Or shrimp chips. The taste is heavy and does not deteriorate easily. And the nutrients are also okay.

    The taste is important, I hope it smells and then forages for it... Hope your turtle soon**.

    Does it have a white membrane on its eyes? If there is, it is white eye disease.

    White eye disease: 1. Causes.

    There are two main reasons for the formation of white eye disease, one is the climate problem, in the early autumn, early winter or early spring, the climate is abnormal, the temperature difference between day and night is large, cold and hot, turtle seedlings are prone to external typhoid fever, and there are many abnormal bacteria, 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.

    2. Symptoms. Turtle seedlings suffering from white eye disease often rub their eyes with their forelimbs, the turtle's eyes are swollen, the outside of the eyeball is covered by white secretions, they are slow, they do not eat, they float in the water, and in severe cases, they lose their eyesight, and finally the turtle body is very thin and dies.

    3. Prevention. 1) Improve the physique of turtle seedlings. Try to buy turtle seedlings that hatch naturally enough days before hatching, and have a healthy physique.

    2) Disinfection and sterilization. After the turtle seedlings are hatched, they should be professionally disinfected, sterilized and maintained, and they should be regularly disinfected, sterilized and prevented in the follow-up breeding process.

    Four**. a) Isolation. Sick turtles are taken out, isolated from other healthy turtle seedlings, and fed in special pots**.

    b) Eye drops. Use chloramphenicol eye drops or chlortetracycline eye ointment to drop (liniment) the eyes of the sick turtle, 1-3 times a day, 5 days as a course of treatment, depending on the severity of the disease, 1-3 courses of treatment.

    3) Brewing medicine. Soak with furacillin or furazolidone solution, add 10-20 mg of furacillin or furazolidone per liter of water, soak once a day, soak for about 1 hour each time, 5 days for a course of treatment, depending on the severity of the condition, 1-2 courses of treatment.

    White eye disease is mostly caused by unclean water. Do not use direct tap water, use the sun for 1 day or leave tap water for a day, and the water temperature should not be lower than 22 all year round

    25-28 degrees Celsius is the best. To maintain this temperature, if it is winter, you need to buy a warming rod at the ornamental fish market, and the turtle cannot hibernate if it has any disease in winter, and it must be warmed and medicated**. If you don't buy a stick, you can choose semi-dry farming. Maintain a temperature of 25-28 plus ** when the disease is cured, and the disease is naturally eaten

    Chlortetracycline eye ointment and chloramphenicol eye drops are combined with semi-dry nourishment** with good effect. Semi-dry cultivation means soaking in water 3 times a day in the morning, noon and evening, 30 minutes to 1 hour each time. Apply chlortetracycline eye ointment before soaking in water to have a waterproof and anti-inflammatory effect, and after soaking, pour the water and take out a drop of chloramphenicol eye drops on the eye drops.

    Leave dry for a few hours and repeat the above procedure. Soak the medicine in water at least 2 times in the morning and evening, and insist on slow metabolism for 7 days to see how the effect is.
