    A swollen neck in a turtle may be due to mumps or edema. Can be soaked with nitrofuracilin**.

    1. Cleaning and ammonia prevention. The mixing of ammonia or ammonia-containing water in the breeding pond is strictly prevented. It is necessary to keep the water quality clean frequently, and if ammonia-containing water is found, discharge it immediately, and inject clean water after disinfection.

    2. Anti-inflammatory and sterilization. Feed and take antibiotics or sulfonamide anti-inflammatory drugs, and apply Pikang cream to the red, swollen and erosive parts, and rest away from water after application.

    Tips and common sense for raising turtles:

    1. Feed more.

    When raising turtles, many people are always worried about starving the turtles, and feed them twice a day or more. It is not known whether this is harmful to the turtle, and overfeeding will make the turtle overly obese and cause a bad body shape, and it will affect the life expectancy. How much should I feed?

    The baby turtle seedlings are fed every other day, the slightly older ones are fed every 2 days, and they are generally fed every 1 day when they grow up.

    2. The food is mainly meat.

    Some people raise turtles to have meat as the staple food, in fact, this is not good, it will cause the turtle's lactone content to increase, easy to gain weight. Eating meat is not conducive to water filtration, which will cause the turtle tank to be unclean. It is recommended to feed fish and shrimp, but also some vegetables, fish and shrimp nutrition is very comprehensive, fish bones and shrimp skin will also provide calcium.

    3. The turtle tank should be changed frequently.

    Most of the turtle tanks are equipped with filtration systems, and most people ignore the link of changing water. In fact, the turtle tank seems to have a very powerful filtration function, but the feces in the cracks of the stones cannot be filtered, and it will affect the water quality for a long time. It is recommended that you can change 3 times a week with 1 water and thoroughly clean the turtle tank once every 3 months.

    4. Don't overdo it.

    Basking in the sun can be beneficial for turtles, but it can be problematic if you have to bask in the 30s for a few hours. And some people don't release the water when they are drying turtles, and they are busy with other things when they are drying turtles, and when they think about it, the turtles are already hanging. It is recommended to dry it once a week, and it will be okay for about an hour to do it, which will help the absorption of calcium, and natural things are still better than artificial ones.

    5. Don't brush the back of the turtle.

    As the turtle grows, it sheds its skin and the tortoise shell slowly peels off, making the back look unsightly. And some people are kind enough to brush these dirty things, but this is actually incorrect, which will hurt the cuticle of the turtle on the black back. And in nature, the turtle's back is clean and beautiful because of the washing of the water.

    6. Don't take the tail when you catch the turtle.

    Some of the fierce tortoises are not bitten by the tortoise when they are scratched, which is not right, and it will be easy to hurt the tortoise, because the tortoise's tail is connected to the spine, and this method is injured when the tortoise is struggling. The correct way is to start from the back and press the middle finger of the back with the thumb on the back of the turtle**, and the rest of the fingers can avoid the hind legs of the turtle.

    When the baby turtle is infected with the virus, it may also grow fibrous local benign tumors, which need to be surgically removed as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to appear if it cannot be completely removed.

    Soak in water once a day for half an hour at a time.
