How to treat grass turtle rot skin, how to treat grass turtle rot skin

Grass tortoise rotten skin** method:

1. Ensure that the feeding temperature is 25-30 degrees. It is best to use a ceramic heater or infrared heating lamp for reptiles to heat the air in the breeding box to avoid the breeding of bacteria, fungi, viruses, mycoplasma chlamydia and other pathogenic microorganisms caused by high temperature and humidity.

2. Cleaning and disinfection of feeding containers.

3. It is recommended to dry raise, bathe 2-3 times a day, each bath time is 10-15 minutes or dry and water alternately (such as small seedlings, you can dry raise for 5 hours, water for 7 hours), high aquatic turtles, try to dry for a long time after coating, and control the dry time by yourself.

4. When dry raising, the affected area is smeared with 5% povidone-iodine solution, multiple times a day, and when water-raised, you can use 5% povidone-iodine solution: water = 1:500-1000 ratio of the liquid to soak the turtle.

5. Turtles and turtles with serious rotten skin or refusal to eat due to rotten skin are recommended to take oral antibiotics with **.

Specific methods of tortoise rot skin disease:

1. Liquid drugs.

You can dilute it with iodine wine, hydrogen peroxide, purple potion, povidone-iodine in qualified water, and soak the turtle in such potions for half an hour, taking care that the potion does not enter the turtle's eyes. After soaking, the turtle is dried and raised. Generally, it is not serious, and it can be cured after three or four days of operation.

Some slight rot skin does not need to be soaked, only need to wipe the rotten skin with potion and dry for half an hour, and it can be cured after three or four days.

2. Ointment. Some anti-inflammatory topical ointments can be used to wipe the rotten skin of turtles, such as chlortetracycline eye ointment, Wuji ointment, Daknin, Baiduobang and other ointments. In fact, only when the rot skin is more severe, it is necessary to use Daknin and Baiduobang, and under normal circumstances, it can be cured with chlortetracycline eye ointment or erythromycin eye ointment.

It is recommended to dry the ointment as much as possible, but remember that the dry rearing time should not be too long, and be careful not to dehydrate the turtle.

3. Heal on your own.

In many cases, the carrion skin of a turtle does not require the use of medicine. When it is found that the turtle has rotten skin, change the water frequently, change the qualified water quality, and pay attention to giving the turtle more sun, and the rotten skin can be cured after a period of time.

How to treat tortoise rot.

Turtle rot is more harmful to tortoises, but this is not an incurable disease, there are many ways to help tortoises cure rotten skin, as long as turtle keepers use the right method to get tortoises out of the virus.

When the grass turtle has symptoms of rotting skin, it should first be kept alone, then wiped with iodine to disinfect the affected area, and then applied erythromycin ointment**. After applying the ointment, it should be dried for 30 minutes, and then put it in water, and it will generally improve after 3 or 4 days of continuous operation.

When the grass turtle has symptoms of rotting skin, the first thing to isolate the sick turtle from other turtles, and then apply iodophor disinfection treatment to the rotten parts, and then apply erythromycin ointment, and then dry the grass turtle for another 30 minutes, and wait for it to absorb the drug, which can generally be cured in 3 to 4 days.

You can also soak the diseased grass turtle in salt water, take a basin of water, then put two or three spoons of salt on it, prepare it into light salt water, and then put the grass turtle into the salt water to soak for a quarter of an hour, then take out the grass turtle and apply anti-inflammatory drugs appropriately, and then properly dry and raise it, and then re-enter the water.

Most of the rotting skin of grass turtles is caused by water pollution, so it is necessary to change the water of grass turtles frequently and clean and disinfect the water tank. After discovering the rotting skin of a grass turtle, it is important to ** it in time to avoid the spread of the rotting skin to other healthy grass turtles.

The methods are as follows: 1. Dry raising.

For the early slight rot skin, under the premise of ensuring the right temperature, dry cultivation is a simple, direct and effective method, especially for simple rot disease. Placing the turtle in a dry container is recommended to tilt the container slightly so that some of the water trapped in the turtle will naturally flow along the slope to the side of the box, while the rotten turtle will usually actively climb to a higher place to stay away from the moisture.

In the stage of dry raising, you still have to soak in water for about an hour every day, and feed and complete bowel movements while soaking in water.

2. Vermiculite adsorption.

Put the rotten skin turtle into a container containing dried vermiculite, the water on the surface of the turtle will be quickly absorbed by the vermiculite, and the affected area will quickly become dry, which is very conducive to the turtle seedlings. Of course, regular soaking in water is essential to avoid dehydration.

3. Antibiotics**.

Drugs** must be coordinated with warming for better absorption and metabolism. Usually turtle seedlings are soaked in dissolved water, or combined with dry culture, and then administered by drinking water and soaking in water. Sick turtles that have an appetite to eat actively can be fed in water soaked in medicine to improve the efficiency of drug intake.

There is also a way to make self-made medicated feed, which is to configure a high concentration of liquid medicine in a separate container, and then put the dry pellet turtle food into the liquid medicine to soak, and after absorbing the liquid medicine, pick up the feed and dry, and then use it to feed the sick turtle. However, the feed made by this method is more perishable, and it is generally used as much as possible, not stored for a long time.

If the symptoms are mild, you can do without drugs**, first carry out a period of dry cultivation to keep the body dry, but pay attention to its own cleanliness during the dry cultivation process, if the symptoms are more serious, you need to carry out drugs**. Grass turtles are usually caused by bacteria. If the water quality of the environment where the turtle grows is not clean, it can easily lead to the growth of bacteria.

After the bacteria breed, they will go straight and stupidly to invade the grass turtles, and the grass turtles themselves have poor resistance, so it is easy to rot the skin. Secondly, you need to bask in the sun often, light is a weapon to kill bacteria, if the light is not sufficient, it will also be easy to breed bacteria or parasites.

First of all, in the usual maintenance process, we must pay attention to keeping the water quality clean, and usually give the grass turtle more sun, and feed more nutritious food, such as fish, meat, etc., which can enhance its resistance. After the appearance of rotten skin, if the symptoms are mild, you can do without drugs**, and first carry out a period of dry cultivation to keep the body dry. But pay attention to its own cleanliness during the dry cultivation process.

If the symptoms are severe, medication** may be required. It can be done by applying drugs such as povidone-iodine or erythromycin**, or it can be combined with drugs such as amoxicillin, but the course of treatment is relatively long, and patience and careful treatment are required.

Dry culture: Most of the rotten skin of grass turtles is caused by poor water quality or bacterial infection, and if the keeper wants to be fast, he must first put them on land to dry raise them to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Basking in the sun:

Secondly, they should be exposed to the sun frequently, because the ultraviolet rays in the sun can kill most of the bacteria. Medications**: Finally, the feeder needs to wipe the affected area with drugs such as povidone-iodine, chlortetracycline or erythromycin, and can also add some anti-inflammatory drugs to the food.

Grass turtle carrion may be because the water quality is too poor, grass turtles in the juvenile resistance is relatively poor, if the water quality of the raised turtle is too poor, it is easy to suffer from rot skin disease. It is also possible that there is not enough light, grass turtles have the habit of basking in the sun, and if they are not exposed to the sun often, the chance of rotting skin disease will also increase. It is also possible that the wound infection, the grass turtle is injured during transportation, fighting, and climbing, and if it is not treated in time, it will be infected, and finally the rotting skin will appear.

1. Dry breeding: If you want to quickly ** the rotting skin disease of grass turtles, you must first fish them out of the water and raise them on land. Because dry culture not only inhibits the growth of bacteria, but also speeds up the absorption of drugs.

2. Bask in the sun: The second is to give them more sun, because the ultraviolet rays in the sun can destroy the bacteria on their body surface and accelerate the speed of healing.

3. Medication**: Finally, the breeder can use the medicine to apply the medicine to the affected area to speed up their healing. The drugs suitable for grass turtles are povidone-iodine, erythromycin, chlortetracycline, etc.

In addition, if the breeder wants them to heal faster, they can add some anti-inflammatory drugs to their food, such as penicillin, amoxicillin, etc., which can be taken internally and externally, which can be more effective in ** their rotten skin disease.
