What should the tortoise do if it has diarrhea? A little green, white eye disease just recovered, eyes half open, and some choking symptoms. What if the turtle shell bursts?

1. Whether the holes on the body surface are normal: check whether the tortoise is awake. If it is a healthy turtle, its eyes should be open and bright. Half-closed eyes, red eyes, or tearful eyes all indicate that this turtle may be sick. When shopping, you can observe their activities and eating, which is the best index to choose turtles. Normal tortoise eyes should not be sunken, cheeks should be round, and there will be no obvious lines on cheeks. Next, check their nostrils. A healthy turtle's nostrils are clean and there will be no other liquid. If you can, gently press the turtle's throat with your fingers. If there is liquid spouting from the turtle's nostrils when doing this, it means that the turtle may have a respiratory infection. Dyspnea is usually a symptom of pneumonia. :J[$

2. Test muscle strength: Pick up the tortoise by hand and observe its weight. A healthy turtle will have enough weight. If you think the tortoise is too light for its size, it may be a symptom of the disease. Healthy turtles will show muscle vitality. The best way to observe them is to see their strong feeling of shrinking into the shell. You can gently pull their front legs when they retract into the shell to test their muscle strength, or open your hands and put their front legs on your chin to test their muscle strength. A turtle with great strength can even pull a lever in your hand. Try not to buy a limping turtle. $LT=

3. Whether the tortoise shell is damaged or not: carefully check whether there is damage or blood on the surface of the tortoise shell and under the carapace (but it is normal for the middle line of the fast-growing tortoise carapace to be a little red), and observe whether its limbs are swollen or not. Secondly, check the eyes and the sides of the head to see if its cheeks are swollen. If you look at the above steps from the top, you will find that healthy turtles should be symmetrical on both sides. ! Wqmj

4. Check the beak: Check around the beak of the turtle to see if there is any broken swelling or cheese-like substance. If there is, don't buy it. J7

5. Check the cloaca: The cloaca is located at the bottom of the tail and should be clean without swelling or lumps. If there is a watery stool stain on the cloaca, it means that the turtle has symptoms of parasitic disease or (and) enteritis. If this happens, it is necessary to check the excrement of turtles in the feeding environment. Usually watery feces are typical symptoms of parasitic diseases and gastroenteritis. If the tortoise has a lot of white excrement, it may have kidney disease. It must be noted that new turtles may have watery excrement at first, but after a period of nursing, diarrhea will gradually improve. If the tortoise is healthy in any way, but it just keeps diarrhea, it must check its excrement and deworming work. The feces of healthy turtles should be soft, solid and rich in fiber.
