How to treat the water mold of soft shelled turtles, and how to prevent and control the water mold o

Water mold. It is mainly caused by water mold and cotton mold, and generally occurs during the overwintering period and spring. The main features are:

The body surface of the diseased turtle is partially whitish, and there are white cotton wool-like hyphae on the body, and the appetite decreases, and the emaciation is weak. In severe cases, the neck and limbs are covered with water mold, and some lesion wounds are congested and ulcerated, and finally die of failure.

Prevention and control methods Let the soft-shelled turtles bask in the sun more, and the soft-shelled turtle ponds insist on replacing new water every day and disinfecting them regularly. Strengthen feeding management, try to avoid mechanical damage such as collision or abrasion of turtles, and add vitamin C to the feed

nutrients such as vitamin E; After the injury, the soft-shelled turtle should be immediately antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, speed up the wound healing, and take florfenicol internally while splashing gill mold in the whole pool.

You first look in the clear water, if it is a white fluff that can float up, it is a fungal problem (water mildew), you can put it in the sun, or soak it in salt water for five minutes (5%), more solar energy prevention, if it is not white hair, it is a lump or punctate white corrosion, it is a bacterial problem (white spot disease), which needs to be anti-inflammatory, if you are raised in the water tank, you can put a cephalatin in the water tank, for three consecutive days, put three, you can basically eliminate the bacteria on the white spot. If you need to prevent this, you should bask in the sun more to kill the bacteria and fungi on it, and the water should be fattened, not too thin or too clear.

<> this disease is also called skin mold and white hair, which is caused by the invasion of water mold. The dorsal carapace, abdominal carapace, limbs, neck and tail of the diseased turtle can parasitize the high and high bacteria of water poisoning, when the mycelium multiplies and dismantles in large quantities, it grows into a clump, just like the old cotton wool, which is gray-white and visible to the naked eye.

This disease can occur from juvenile soft-shelled turtles to adult soft-shelled turtles, but the harm to juvenile soft-shelled turtles is the most serious, mainly caused by injuries to the soft-shelled turtles.

Ways to prevent it. 1) In the process of fishing, transportation, stocking and feeding management, it is necessary to be as careful as possible to avoid injury to the turtle body.

2) For injured turtles, malachite green or sulfonamide ointment can be applied to the injured area, after application, leave it in a waterless state for a few minutes, and then apply a little petroleum jelly to the affected area before putting it into water.

**Method. 1) Soak the diseased turtle with a peacock green aqueous solution (grams per 15 kg of water) for 20 minutes, 1 time a day, 2 times in a row, which can kill the mycelium.

2) Sprinkle the whole pool with a mixture of salt and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) (1:1), with a total dosage of 8 grams per 10,000 ml of water.

3) Take a pot of fine sand with particles of about centimeters (the number is determined according to the number of diseased turtles), rinse it and put it in a cleaned pot, add salt water (5 grams of salt per 100ml of water) to 1-2 cm on the sand, cover the pot and boil it with a side jujube fire, and cook for 30 minutes on low heat. Then use a snakeskin bag to filter off the salt water, drain the fine sand and cool it before setting aside.

Use a basin to pour the cooled sand into it, the sand thickness is 6-8 cm, and the juvenile and young turtles only need about 3 cm. Put the soft-shelled turtle with water mildew into the pot, if it can drill into the sand by itself, it is the best, otherwise the diseased soft-shelled turtle will be covered artificially with sand, and the number of diseased soft-shelled turtles shall not be extruded. Finally, the pot will be placed in the strong sunlight for 30-60 minutes, if the sick turtle can not stand it and climb outward, it should be taken out in time or the pot should be brought to the shade, and then dried when the sun is slightly weaker, the water mold can fall off after 30 minutes of the light soft-shelled turtle, if it still does not fall off, it can continue to be placed in the sand to dry, under normal circumstances, a basic kill the water mold on the surface of the body of the diseased turtle.

Can you feed soft-shelled turtles with dead fish with water mold.

Hello Kiss Hello Hello It is not recommended to feed dead fish with water mold to soft-shelled turtles or any other animals. Hydromycosis is a disease caused by a fungal infection, and after death, the body may produce toxins due to the invasion of the fungus and cause harm to the animals raised.

In addition, the pathogen of water mold disease is not easy to be disinfected and killed, if it is fed to the soft-shelled turtle, not only can not supplement enough nutrition, but also increase the risk of infection of the soft-shelled turtle, and in severe cases, it will even lead to disease and death of the soft-shelled turtle. Therefore, it is advisable to choose healthy ingredients to feed soft-shelled turtles to ensure their health and growth. Hope mine can help you dear

Turtle water mold ** Turtles live in water or damp places for a long time, and the fungus (water mold) infects the turtle**. Symptoms Water mold mostly occurs on the limbs and neck of turtles. The mycelium is white, soft, like white cotton wool, and the diseased turtle loses its appetite at first and is restless; In severe cases, the body is emaciated and weak, and finally the food consumption decreases, and finally dies.

Prevention and control In the daily feeding management, the turtle should be often exposed to the sun to inhibit the breeding of water mold and play a preventive role. For the diseased turtles, the prepared 3%-4% salt water can be used to soak the diseased turtles for 5-10 minutes; and disinfect the utensils used to keep turtles. At the same time, mix an appropriate amount of antibiotics or sulfonamides into the bait to improve the turtle's disease resistance.
