    1. Handstand water control: After finding that the turtle is drowning, you need to fish it out of the water as soon as possible, because the water has entered the lungs, so do not lay it flat after fishing, but put it upside down, and pat it on the back at the same time, so that it can spit out some water, be careful not to shoot too hard.

    2. Turn over and press: In addition to inverting the water control, you can also turn it over and put it on the ground, so that its abdominal armor is facing up, and then knock its dorsal armor, which can compress the lungs and empty the residual water.

    3. Restore breathing: After the water in the lungs is emptied, the next thing to do is to help it breathe. At this time, you need to lay the turtle flat first, and then gently stretch its forelimbs with your hands, be sure to pull alternately, so that its lungs can breathe normally, and wait until it has breath.

    A tortoise choking will not heal itself, so you need to help it get rid of the water.

    The turtle should be raised in water, and the water level only needs to be higher than the turtle shell to facilitate the turtle to breathe.

    Are you too high?

    The turtle opens its mouth and makes a rattling sound because it has pneumonia and will often swim sideways in the water and stretch its neck to make a call.

    A turtle will also open its mouth to make a sound when it chokes on water, usually because it is frightened in the water, or if it suddenly enters the water, it will cause it to choke. Turtles often choke on water, which can easily lead to pneumonia.

    The turtle will also open its mouth to make a sound when it has a cold, and its spirit is getting worse and worse, and its activity is not high, so it is best to warm the turtle in time, keep the water clean, and let it bask in the sun more, and it will gradually get better.

    The reason why it is sick is that the water temperature is too low or the temperature difference is too large, so you need to pay attention to keeping warm, and then soak it with amoxicillin and roxithromycin**, and you can also feed it.

    ** method for turtles to get pneumonia:

    1. Increase the water temperature to more than 28, and put some anti-inflammatory drugs in the water.

    2. Turtles will eat in this environment for about a week. Pay attention to change the turtle's water every day, bacteria breed quickly in a high temperature environment, and infrequent water change will affect the turtle's body.

    3. After the turtle begins to eat, it begins to carry out pneumonia, usually by the method of irrigation, three times a day, each time feeding one-third of amoxicillin powder aqueous solution, into the turtle's mouth.

    4. Usually inject the prepared potion into the belly of the small fish and feed it to the turtle and turtle. If your turtle is willing to eat steamed buns, you can mix one-third of amoxicillin powder into the small steamed bun pieces and knead them well, and feed them to the turtles.
