The turtle s eyes always felt like a layer of what looked like a white coat

Symptoms: In the early stage, the turtle's eyes are slightly swollen, and the front paws are often rubbed against the eyes, and the appetite decreases, and the turtle does not like to go into the water.

Medium-term redness and swelling around the eyes**, inability to open the eyes, little or no movement, hunger strike, drowsiness.

In the later stage, the eyes are white, unable to open at all, do not move, go on a hunger strike, and become drowsy; In severe cases, there is mucus in the mouth, mouth mouth breathing, limb weakness, almost no possibility of **.

**Method: 1. Dry raising, soak in cold boiled water 2 times 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.

That one has already had an eye disease, in short, his eyes have been blind, and he should be given eye drops, or apply eye ointment, or you can put it in several times diluted eye drops and soak it for about an hour at a time.

It is recommended to see a veterinarian, who will prescribe professional medicines.

In addition, keep the pool water clean, and do a good job of not releasing the water for the time being, which is easy to get infected.

Otherwise your turtle will starve to death because it can't see food!!

White eye apply chlortetracycline ophthalmic ointment, once in the morning and once in the evening. Guaranteed water quality

My tortoise also had this disease, and it was two months ago, when it was still very hot, and the tortoise didn't like to climb very much. I isolated the turtle from the water (because I had heard that it doesn't work well in the water and the effect will be diluted by the water), put it in a wet towel to help him stay hydrated, and then applied a cotton swab with some chlortetracycline eye ointment to him every morning and evening, and it didn't take two days.

This is the white eye of the tortoise.

White eye disease is a common disease in red-eared turtles, yellow-throated turtles, yellow-margined closed-shell turtles, eyespot turtles, etc., and the incidence rate is higher in young turtles. It may be poor water quality, a large number of bacterial infections, inflammation caused by turtles fighting and biting each other, etc.

If you can't open your eyes, it means that the condition is more serious and you need to use antibiotics**, and use external ointment and eye drops. Do not forcibly peel off the white film, try to use tea** to help remove the white film.

The turtle situation you mentioned, will it be the case of white eye disease, it is recommended to try it according to the method of white eye disease, white eye should be a relatively common disease.

First of all, the white matter and white necrotic epidermis in the eye should be removed, and if there is bleeding, it should be continued to be cleaned. The turtle is then soaked in a liquid containing B vitamins and oxytetracycline. The liquid medicine is prepared in the ratio of 1 2 tablets of oxytetracycline and 2 tablets of vitamin B per 500 grams of water.

Sick turtles may lose their eyesight. Or soak the turtle in low-concentration salt water, or raise it in 15 milliliters of furacilin or furazolidone solution, and it can be cured in about a week. Or soak the liquid medicine with a concentration of 30 milligrams for 40 minutes a day, and soak it continuously for about a week to heal.

White eye disease. **: Due to the excessive feeding density, the water quality is not changed in time, resulting in deterioration of water quality and excessive alkalinity.

The onset season is mostly in spring and autumn, and the spring after overwintering is the peak epidemic period. The disease is mostly seen in Brazilian painted turtles, turtles, spotted turtles, brocade turtles, etc., and the incidence rate of juvenile turtles is high. Symptoms:

The eye area of the sick turtle is inflamed and congested, gradually turning grayish white and gradually enlarged. The cornea and nasal mucosa of the eye are eroded due to inflammation of the eye, and in severe cases, both eyes are blinded and breathing is blocked. The outside of the eyeball is covered by white secretions, and the eyes 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. Some turtles have only one disease at the beginning of the disease, and if no action is taken, symptoms will soon develop in the other eye.

Prevention and control: The water should be changed frequently, the water quality should be kept clean, and nutritional drugs should be fed on time to improve the resistance of the turtle itself. Turtles that have been sick should be kept separately, and the original breeding container should be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for more than 30 minutes for disinfection and sterilization.

For turtles housed in the same tank, if it is found that they already have white eye disease, other ones can be soaked in nitrofuracilin (or furazolidone) solution. This is both a preventative measure and can be used as an early stage**. Juvenile turtles should use 20 milliliter concentration, and juvenile turtles should use 30 milliliter concentration for adult turtles, and the length of immersion time depends on the water temperature.

Soak once a day (40 minutes) for 3-5 days if necessary.

Chlortetracycline ophthalmic ointment can be applied. Use a medical disinfectant cotton swab dipped in ointment and apply it directly to the turtle's eyes, and the whole eye should be smeared, especially the eye gap, so that it can be absorbed as much as possible.

If the turtle has something white on its eyes, it is likely that it is suffering from white eye, mainly because there is a fight during the turtle rearing period, or there is too much bacteria growing after the water pollution, which makes the eyes inflamed.

It should be noted that when the symptoms of this disease appear, the conjunctiva of the eye is inflamed, and the eye area will be white, and even there will be swelling and congestion. It is best to take out the turtle in time, do a good job of answering the book and isolate the turtle from other turtles, and then use dry raising, and use eye drops to carry out **, and at the same time, potassium permanganate should be used to take a medicinal bath, so that it can recover as soon as possible.

Turtle feeding precautions.

It is recommended that users do not feed turtles salty and salty foods, such as leftovers from human eating, otherwise it will cause edema of the body and cause kidney damage.

Disease prevention: Users need to pay attention to the best way to prevent turtles from getting sick is to get enough light. In addition, regular water changes can effectively prevent the growth of germs. You can disinfect the turtle's small home, as long as it is sprayed into the water.
