What are the symptoms of my turtle s bulging eyes? How to solve it?

Eye diseases include white eye disease, redness and swelling of the eye circles, and concurrent eye diseases due to other diseases.

Eye disease is a common disease of tortoises. Everyone should be familiar with white eye disease, so I won't talk about it here. The redness and swelling of the eye circles mostly occur on turtles that have just been bought or whose living water is not clean.

Although the symptoms of eye diseases in turtles and turtles are different, the medication is basically the same, and all kinds of eye diseases can be cured with the same eye medicine, so you don't have to find those complicated professional drugs in the large information.

Symptoms: Let's put it in layman's terms....If something looks wrong with the eyes, it is an eye disease. The eyes cannot be opened, there is a layer of white membrane on the eyes, the eyes are swollen, the eyes are red, and the eyes are sticky and discharged......Wait a minute.

**Drugs recommended) chlortetracycline eye ointment, chloramphenicol eye drops (available in pharmacies and pharmacies), nitrofuracillin powder (that yellow powder, available in regular aquarium stores).

In addition, medicated baths and warming are also crucial, so you should also buy oxytetracycline tablets (available at fish stores selling fish products in the Flower, Bird and Fish Market), azithromycin (available in pharmacies), and heating sticks (available in Flowers, Birds, and Fish Markets, tropical fish stores, and aquariums).

**Method If you use eye ointment, apply the ointment to the affected eye with a cotton swab, and try to gently open the eyelids and apply it into the eye. After application, dry curing for 1 hour, during which time apply every 15 minutes. Apply 2 to 3 times a day, and once at night before the turtle goes to sleep.

If you use eye drops, peel the eyelids aside and put them into the eye drops, or let the medicine flow down the slit into the eye. Order every 2 hours. Dry for 5 minutes after pointing.

If you use medicinal powder, sprinkle it on the affected eye (a thick layer), apply it evenly, and dry it for 1 hour after applying.

The rest of the time, use a plastic or glass box that is not too large, attach a heating rod and set the temperature to 30 degrees. The heating rod must be used at all times. In the water of this environment with a heating rod, put oxytetracycline tablets and mix evenly.

Regarding the specific settings of the **environment, please pull this article down and pull it to the part of "pneumonia**", there will be an explanation. There is also Zhang**, which is my environment setting, which can be used for reference. The number of oxytetracycline tablets, such as the container I use, put 3 or 4 tablets is appropriate.

Medicated baths twice a day).

During the day, it is best to drop eye drops when you are free, anti-inflammatory, at night, it is best to squeeze some eye ointment, personally recommended is chlortetracycline eye ointment, you must squeeze the ointment into it, only apply it to the eyelids

Don't mess with the medicine, I've had one too. It may be too damp, you should let it bask in more sun, and it will get better. It's really not good to see a veterinarian.

Hope that helps.

1.

2. Medicated bath**: If the turtle's eyes are red, swollen, swollen, whitish, and have white discharge, it is likely to be caused by white eye disease. The keeper can wash his eyes with a clean water source and take a medicated bath with red slag chlortetracycline or drugs containing anti-inflammatory effects**.

3. Avoid feeding fatty meat: You can eat some meat in moderation, and the protein in meat can supplement the nutrients needed every day. However, it is not recommended to feed fatty meat, because fatty meat is difficult to digest, easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and the oil will float on the water surface, causing a certain amount of pollution to the water quality and affecting the normal life of the turtle.

The turtle's eyes are bulging like those of a fish and may be inflamed, and chloramphenicol can be given to it, one drop at a time, three times a day. If the turtle's eyes are still whitish, it may have white eye disease, and it can be given two drops three times a day with antibiotic eye drops.

<> turtles have swollen and whitish eyes, they need to change the water regularly and apply the eyes with erythromycin eye ointment**. This disease, also known as white eye disease, is mostly caused by poor water quality, which causes the turtle's eyes to be invaded by bacteria, and if it is soaked in water in time, it may lead to aggravation of the disease. Therefore, it is best to dry it up, but it should be soaked several times a day to avoid it dying of dehydration.

Based on the symptoms, the turtle can be roughly diagnosed with a severe eye disease, which is a common disease in turtles. It is more common in red-eared turtles, turtles, yellow-throated turtles, yellow-margined turtles, spotted turtles, etc., and the incidence rate of juvenile turtles is high. Autumn and spring after overwintering are the peak seasons of the epidemic.

The eyes of the sick turtle are inflamed and congested, the eyes are swollen, the cornea and nasal mucosa are eroded due to inflammation of the eye, the outside of the eye is covered by white secretions, and there is inflammation inside the eye. Sick turtles often wipe their eyes with their forefeet, move slowly, and no longer feed. In severe cases, the sick turtle loses sight in its eyes, and finally the turtle is very thin and dies.

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.

There are three main factors that cause turtle eye disease: unbalanced nutrition, mainly lack of vitamin A; high water pollution and excessive stocking density; The water is too alkaline, which leads to bacterial infection.

Replace the water with new water, keep the water clean and free of pollutants, control the pH value between, and do not use saline water to raise turtles. If a sick turtle is found, it should be taken out of the water in time and placed in a dark place; During the onset of the disease, the liver of the animal can be fed to increase nutrition and enhance disease resistance. Turtle breeding glass tanks, aquariums and other utensils should be soaked in 10% salt water for 30 minutes, rinsed with clean water before raising turtles.

For turtles with mild disease and eyes that can still be opened, they can be soaked in nitrofuracillin or furazolidone solution, with a concentration of 20 milliliters for juvenile turtles and 30 milliliters for juvenile turtles and adult turtles, soaked once a day (40 minutes) for 3 to 5 days.

For the turtle with serious disease and unable to open the eyes, first clean the white necrotic epidermis in the turtle's eye, then soak the sick turtle in a solution with vitamin B and oxytetracycline, put oxytetracycline and two tablets of vitamin B in every 500 grams of water, and change the liquid every 24 hours.

If the turtle has this disease, it is important not to soak the whole body and apply eye drops or ointment to the eye area.

The water should be changed frequently, the water should be kept clean, and nutritional drugs should be fed on time to improve the turtle's own resistance. Turtles that are already sick should be kept separately.

For mild turtles (those who can still open their eyes and can actively eat), the turtle can be soaked in low-concentration salt water or kept in 15 milliliters of nitrofuracillin 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. If the turtle is seriously ill (refuses to eat and can no longer open its eyes), it should be soaked in an antibiotic solution (containing 500-1000 units of antibiotics per ml) for more than one hour every day, and then applied to the affected area with antibacterial eye ointment and placed in a dark place to promote the white secretion to fall off as soon as possible.

For turtles with severe symptoms (eye erosion), first remove the white matter and white necrotic epidermis in the eye, and continue to clean up if there is bleeding. 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.

Take some anti-inflammatory drugs, small doses.
