Severe infection: Obvious rancid fishy smell or perforation or a certain depth or softness, injectable antibiotics are recommended. The course of treatment is 7 to 10 days.

Advice: Don't make a big deal about the parts of the bone plate that are soft due to bacterial infection, and the brutal excavation will undoubtedly make it worse. Case 1:

**The blackened part in the middle is layered, indicating that the nail is already dead and needs to be peeled off with a razor. Local treatment: After peeling off the floating dead nails with a blade, clean and disinfect them with hydrogen peroxide, and directly apply potassium permanganate powder.

It can also be cleaned and disinfected with hydrogen peroxide several times a day without potassium permanganate powder. If there is a perforation, after cleaning and disinfection with hydrogen peroxide, wipe the affected area with a sterilized cotton swab, soak the perforated area with povidone-iodine solution, 4-5 times a day, 15 minutes each time. If the turtle is perforated and the turtle has refused to eat, then the turtle's refusal to eat may be caused by the perforation, and injectable antibiotics must be used.

Ceftriaxone sodium for injection was selected, which had low toxicity and was proportionally formulated into a liquid for intraperitoneal injection for intraperitoneal injection. **Supplement some multi-dimensional elements during the period, remember to be dry!

No matter what the reason for the rotting armor must be timely**, once the turtle is found to have rotting armor, the turtle's domestic water should be replaced first, the turtle utensils should be disinfected (potassium permanganate or salt water can be used), and the sick turtle should be isolated and raised to avoid cross-infection.

If it is an early or mild rot can not use drugs, get a dry land (sundeck), sick turtles will climb up to bask in the sun on their own, if the breeding site can not bask in the sun indoors, you can choose to set up a back lamp, or you can change the way of dry raising, soak in water for 1-2 hours a day, so as not to dehydrate the turtle, and you can also put an appropriate amount of oxytetracycline and vitamins when soaking in water.

Turtle carrion**:

Rotting armor, simply put, is when the carapace of a tortoise becomes inactive and decays. In most cases, tortoises do not carrion in the first place, but are infected with crustacea due to the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. After the carapace infection is severe, it can be seen that the carapace and dorsal carapace of the tortoise are no longer attached to the naked eye and become inactive, and at the same time, the carapace is rotten and accompanied by a foul smell, which is carapace.

Although most people confuse carapace infection with carapace rotting, the reality is that carapace infection does not necessarily progress to rotting armor if handled properly. However, most of the carrion shells are caused by the aggravation of carapace infections that have not been treated in time. The methods of the two are also different.

Crushing, falls, bites, and harsh feeding environments are all causes of tortoise rot.

Due to the development of online shopping, most people now buy turtles online. In this way, the turtle will have to go through long-distance transportation when it comes to us. If during transportation, the merchant is not properly packaged, or the courier is violent, the turtle is very likely to fall or be crushed, which will eventually lead to tortoise rot.

In the process of our daily feeding, it often happens that the environment of the turtle tank is improperly set, resulting in the turtle breaking from prison and falling into injury. Or the water quality is poor, which leads to bacterial infection of turtles and tortoises, and eventually causes tortoise carapace.

Bask in the sun more when it's sunny, soak in salt water when it's cloudy, and it will be fine...

The most important thing is to insist, your turtle's self-healing ability is very powerful, and you don't need to use any medicine at all!! So don't worry.

Don't worry

People who can raise turtles, the kind that have been raised for many years, never use medicine... The harm of medication to the turtle is very great, as long as the turtle basks in the sun more, ultraviolet rays will help you disinfect and **, and calcium supplementation, the effect of medication is fast, but the damage to the turtle is great, bask in the sun, let it recover naturally, and the physique will naturally be good in the future, if you use the drug, enter a vicious circle, continue to get sick, and finally die... That's what I've experienced in my practical experience ...

Therefore, it is not recommended that you use drugs**, it is recommended that you use the method of basking in the sun...

If you raise a turtle, don't get too dirty and feed pork, bask in the sun, and don't change the temperature too much when changing the water, so you have a good chance of avoiding getting sick...

I have raised turtles for many years, and I have never used medicine, at most I use alcohol and salt water to disinfect it, and I just bask in the sun. The experience on the Internet is basically medication, and my practical experience is the sun, you can refer to it.

This one is blind and the claws are rotten, and by basking in the sun, he was cured... The turtle recovers very slowly, so there is no need to worry, it may be a week or a few months.

Also, you shouldn't dig it, after digging, it will take longer to recover... Rotten armor can't be dug up...
