"My treatment for the eye diseases of the Brazilian tortoise is as follows: 1. If the Brazilian tortoise can't open its eyes, it depends on whether there is a gray-white film on its eyes. If there is, it is an eye disease. I once put two drops of eye drops into the eyes of Brazilian tortoise several times a day. A few days later, the film disappeared. 2. What if I can't eat? My method is to clamp the meat between the nose and mouth of the Brazilian turtle with tweezers. When it smells meat, it will open its mouth to eat. 3. The eye disease of the Brazilian tortoise will pollute the water quality, so you should change the water in the container after eating every day. "
"When my Brazilian turtle can't open his eyes, I use a toothpick to pick food and rub it back and forth. It actually knows that its owner is feeding it, opening and closing its mouth and eating food into its stomach. After a while, its eyes also opened. Through observation, the hibernation period of the Brazilian tortoise generally ends at the end of March and the beginning of April. "
"I also keep turtles. According to my experience, you can use a pot of warm water, drop a few drops of eye drops in warm water, and then put the turtle in it for a while, and the turtle will slowly open its eyes. So it can eat. "
"After last year's fright, my Brazilian tortoise didn't open his eyes. My method is to open its eyelids several times a day, drop chloramphenicol eye drops, apply chlortetracycline eye ointment once every morning and evening, and then let it move on the ground for a few minutes. After a week, feed it once a day, put snail meat into the turtle's mouth with a toothpick and slowly poke it into its throat. 10 days later, gently wipe the eye clothes with a cotton swab, and the clothes will heal after falling off. "
White eye disease
【 Etiology 】: Eye injury or bacterial infection caused by eye irritation caused by poor water quality. The disease is more common in red-eared turtles, soft-shelled turtles, yellow-throated soft-shelled turtles, yellow-edged soft-shelled turtles, eye-spotted soft-shelled turtles, etc., and the incidence of young turtles is higher. The onset season is spring, and autumn and spring after wintering are the epidemic peaks.
[diagnosis]:
The eyes of the sick turtle are inflamed, congested and swollen. The cornea and nasal mucosa of the eye are eroded by inflammation of the eye, the outside of the eye is covered with white secretions, and there is inflammation inside the eye. Sick turtles often wipe their eyes with their forelimbs, which makes them slow down and stop eating. In severe cases, the sick turtle becomes blind, and finally the turtle becomes thin and dies. Some sick turtles have only one eye at the beginning of the disease. If no measures are taken, symptoms will soon appear in the other eye.
[prevention]:
1. Strengthen feeding management. Before and after overwintering, when eating, strengthen nutrition and enhance disease resistance.
2. Disinfect the utensils for feeding turtles. Glass jars and aquariums for raising turtles are soaked in 10% salt water for 30 minutes, and then washed with clear water before raising turtles.
3. Soaking in penicillin or potassium permanganate solution is not only a preventive measure, but also an early treatment. The concentration of young turtles is 20 mg/L, and the concentration of young turtles to adults is 30 mg/L. The soaking time depends on the water temperature. If necessary, soak 1 time (40 minutes) every day for 3-5 days.
[treatment]:
1, feed more animal livers.
2, disinfection. Rivano; Also known as Rever's ear, surgical drugs were soaked in 1% aqueous solution once a day for 40~60 seconds for 3~8 days.
3. Soak in furacilin (or furazolidone) solution. The concentration of 20 mg/L is used for cone turtles. The concentration of young turtle 30 mg/L is the same as that of young turtle. 40 minutes each time, once a day for 3~5 days.
4. Dakening Eye Ointment. pneumonia
1. Symptoms and causes: mucus in the corners of the mouth and nose, lethargy in the tortoise, weakness in the front and rear legs, and panting in the nose and mouth. It is related to the temperature change.
② Drug treatment: isolate the feeding box and raise the temperature to about 30 degrees. Gentamycin is added into water according to the ratio of 1: 20. The most important thing is to give medicine. Crushing amoxicillin and vitamin 21 (a little), mixing with raw eggs (a little), gently holding the sides of the head with thumb and forefinger when the tortoise stretches its head, opening its mouth with a large needle tail, and dropping the mixture of medicine and eggs with a syringe. One or two drops each time, about ten drops each time, twice a day.
In addition, chloramphenicol eye drops can treat white eye disease very well.
