How to treat a swollen turtle hand, what should I do if my tortoise hand is swollen?

It may be caused by long-term immersion in water. or trophic skeletal disease (calcium deficiency, osteomalacia).

Trophic skeletal disease (calcium deficiency, hypochondriasis).

Symptoms: The movement and feeding of the sick turtle are normal, but when you hold the turtle in your hand, you can feel that the carapace of the sick turtle is soft, and the joints of the limbs are thicker.

In severe diseased turtles, the scale armor on the surface of the dorsal shell gradually falls off, the shell is soft, the nails and toenails are falling off, and the carapace is irregular and deformed.

**: Turtles in captivity due to long-term feeding of a single feed, feeding cooked food, lack of various trace elements in the food, especially vitamin D3, resulting in a lack of vitamin D in the turtle body, and the ratio of calcium and phosphorus is inverted or lack of calcium, resulting in bone softening of the turtle. Long-term indoor rearing without natural sunlight can also cause the disease.

Fast-growing juvenile and juvenile turtles are common.

Prevention and control: In the daily feeding management, the exposure to sunlight should be ensured. Expose the turtle to natural sunlight as much as possible, taking care not to have any barriers, including glass, plastic sheeting, etc.

UVB fluorescent lamps can also be used for indoor rearing. For terrapins that have the habit of drying their nails, land should be set in the breeding container above the water surface for them to dry their nails. In the daily feeding food, an appropriate amount of calcium powder, shrimp shell powder, shell powder, cod liver oil, vitamin D and multivitamins and some nutritional drugs such as Jinshierkang should be added regularly.

Hatchlings and hatchlings should be fed some live shrimp in shell on a regular basis. In addition, the feeding bait should pay attention to the combination of animal bait and plant bait, and the shell should be fed with some green vegetable leaves. For more severely diseased turtles, 10% calcium gluconate (1 mL kg) can be injected intramuscularly.

There is no way to recover from the carapace that has caused the carapace.

The disease is mostly caused by malnutrition and lack of sunlight, and is manifested by loss of appetite, general weakness, malaise, sluggishness, and slow growth.

**Method: Feed with full price feed with good palatability and rich nutrition, and add calcium tablets to the feed; Enhance the number of sunshine hours, and expose the sun to sunlight 2 to 3 times a day.

Insist on erythromycin eye ointment, 2 times a day.

Insist on dry maintenance, soak in water for 1 hour a day, until the condition is better.

Method:

Insist on erythromycin eye ointment, 2 times a day.

Insist on dry nourishment, soak in water for 1 hour a day, until the condition is better.

Suggestion: Turtles should bask in the sun more, the feeding space should be large, the breeding environment should have stones for drying the back, keep the water clear, eat less and more meals (feed once a week, eat in 2 minutes at a time).

Hungry for a few days, the turtle eats too much and can't digest it, which will cause edema.

Change the water every day and add a little salt or azithromycin tablets (1 to 2 tablets) to the water

Water mildew **: turtles live in water or dark and damp places for a long time, are not suitable for water quality, and fungi infect the turtle body surface**.

Symptoms: Initial infection does not show any abnormalities, followed by loss of appetite, physical weakness, or death in hibernation. With the development of the disease, gray-white spots appear on the body surface, head, limbs, and tail, commonly known as "raw hair", and then the epidermis forms swelling, ulceration, necrosis or shedding, and soon dies.

Hydromycosis usually occurs on the head, neck, limbs and tail of turtles. The hyphae are white, soft, and cotton-wool. At first, the sick turtle loses appetite and restlessness, and in severe cases, the turtle is emaciated and weak, does not move or eat, and even dies.

Chinese tortoises, Brazilian tortoises, Knott's tortoises, and brocade tortoises are susceptible to this disease.

Prevention and control: In the daily feeding and management of turtles, turtles should be often exposed to the sun to inhibit the breeding of water mold and achieve the prevention effect. For the already diseased turtles, the sick turtles can be soaked in 4% salt water for 10 minutes, and the feeding containers can be soaked and disinfected with potassium permanganate solution.

At the same time, an appropriate amount of antibiotics should be mixed into the food to improve the resistance of the turtle. Turtles can also be reared in 1% achithromycin solution for a period of time, which also has a good effect.

Turtles infected with water mold.

This situation is still relatively common in the process of deliberate daily feeding, especially for the feeding of water turtles, whose subcutaneous space is prone to edema, and it is recommended to leave the water environment for about 1 to 7 days to slow down the symptoms until **.

Hope you can!

1. It may be caused by trauma.

2. If the joints are swollen and painful, it is gout.

3. Edema of the limbs.

1) In general, forelimb swelling is liver and spleen dysfunction, and hind limb swelling is kidney dysfunction.

2) If the whole body is swollen, in most cases, it is caused by liver dysfunction, and in a few cases, it is systemic edema directly caused by kidney problems.

3) In the case of non-serious conditions, temporarily dry and fasting to self-regulate; However, if the liver and kidneys are damaged or failing at this time, it will not work.

4) The reason is mostly related to long-term excessive protein intake. It shows that the owner has adopted the wrong or poor feeding method, and should eat a scientific and reasonable diet according to the turtle's eating habits, and increase the amount of exercise as much as possible.

5) Some turtles quickly disappear after antibiotic use, because their organs are dysfunctional and accompanied by inflammation. However, it is difficult to judge whether there is inflammation or not.

4. Edema of the axillary and leg fossa.

1) Because the symptoms are different from edema of the limbs, it is often called emphysema.

2) If the leg socket symptoms precede the axillary symptoms, and the degree of swelling is significantly greater than the axillary symptoms.

1. Caused by poor fat metabolism or malnutrition, the specific cause should be judged according to the feeding situation.

2. If it is caused by poor fat metabolism, you can temporarily stop eating and self-regulate; If it is caused by malnutrition, it is necessary to adjust the diet in time.

3. No matter what the reason is, it means that the owner has adopted a wrong or bad feeding method, and should eat a scientific and reasonable diet according to the turtle's eating habits, and increase the amount of exercise as much as possible.

3) The symptoms of the neck and armpits precede the symptoms of the leg sockets, and the degree of swelling is significantly greater than the degree of the symptoms of the leg sockets.

1. It generally appears in turtles with severe white eye disease, and the degree is different.

2. It is a symptom of white eye complicated by lung infection, which can be controlled by taking or injecting antibiotics.

Turtles can't be in the water all the time. Dry culture. Soak in water several times a day, add 2 tablets of oxytetracycline to the water, and try to break it into water. time, once a day, one hour at a time, (1 tablet in a large container of palms) for a weekDo not feed until the leg swelling is gone.

Take a tablet of oxytetracycline in 100 ml of water, use a syringe to open the turtle mouth and inject it in.

If it is not caused by external forces, then you need to pay attention to the water quality problem, if the water quality is wrong, the turtle will have various problems, such as rotten skin and rotten armor, and then a little more serious is rotten claws, rotten mouths and rotten eyes, your problem is not big, and then it will be rotten.

If the damage is not caused by an external force, pay attention to the water quality. If there is a problem with the water quality, the turtle will have various problems, such as rotten skin and rotten armor. It's a little more serious, rotten claws, rotten mouths, rotten eyes. Another question. It's not big, and the development is rotten.

The turtle has no hands, and the hands that come from there are swollen.

If the turtle has edema, it must not be allowed to soak in water for a long time, if you put salt in the water, it is likely to exacerbate its edema, and do not use amoxicillin, the best way is to get it out of the water as soon as possible and put it out of the sun.

If the turtle has edema, it is important to go to a sunny place to exercise more, but not for too long at a time, otherwise it will be severely dehydrated. After basking in the sun, you can't let it go back into the water, at most let it get drenched a little, and soaking in the water will only make its edema more and more obvious.

Although the turtle has a long lifespan and strong disease resistance, edema is the most feared disease of the turtle, only by letting it get enough suitable heat, it is possible to evaporate excess water, only the water in the body evaporates, then its edema will slowly **.
