Or you can go to turtle talk, where it is more effective to ask.
The turtle of the landlord is a symptom of white eye disease accompanied by pneumonia. The mouth is open and closed, and the lips are purple, which is the characteristic of typical pneumonia. If you don't refuse to eat, you should immediately take oral drugs to treat pneumonia, and at the same time step up the treatment of white eyes.
The following medicines can be bought in pharmacies. Go to the drugstore to buy a bigger medicine. If you can't open your eyes or open them a little, buy levofloxacin dry eye drops for treatment immediately. If you can't open your eyes at all, and you are not sure whether you can open the turtle's eyes, you should apply levofloxacin eye gel to the affected area. Because the eyes can't be opened, eye drops won't work, so using ointment drugs such as gel will ensure that they are absorbed slowly and act on the affected area. If you don't buy ofloxacin eye gel, you can do it. Of course levofloxacin is better than ofloxacin. If you can't find it, buy him Baiduobang ointment and apply it to the affected area. Things will be fine. You can open your eyes slowly. As long as his eyes are slightly open, it will be very effective to order the levofloxacin eye drops he bought immediately. Once you open your eyes, put a few drops of eye drops in, and there is great hope of recovery. After eyes can be slightly opened, use eye drops on time and in quantity during the day, and use eye gel at night. If the turtle with pneumonia can still eat, it must take medicine orally, otherwise it must be injected if it wants to be saved, but it is difficult for many people. Not everyone has mastered the injection skills, try to make it take medicine orally. Take medicine with food, or you won't take medicine alone. The specific method of making it eat will be told to the owner in detail below. Tell me the drug name and dosage first. Oral cefdinir dispersible tablets, which is the third generation of cephalosporins, have better effects than many other cephalosporins of the same generation. Cut with scissors every time, 1/4 tablets a day, and reduce it to 1/5 tablets a day after two days. Give it with food. If not, you can also choose cefixime, the trade name is Shifusun. This is a capsule, each capsule is 100mg, but all the soft-shelled turtles need to take one day is 1/7 capsules, which will be reduced to 1/8 capsules a day after two days, so they need to buy some empty capsules, open them and refill them in food as needed.
Buy azithromycin dispersible tablets and soak them in water for a few days for about 3 hours each time. It takes about 1-2 hours for turtles with dyspnea pneumonia. Because pneumonia makes it difficult to breathe, you will suffocate in the water for a long time. Dispersible tablets are different from ordinary tablets and have the best water solubility. After mixing the medicines evenly, add the soft-shelled turtle. It is estimated that the physical strength of these two turtles has been seriously overdrawn, and they can't sink into the water normally after basically entering the water. If pneumonia is floating, don't press the water forcibly, so the lung function itself will be unbalanced and you will suffocate. Use ordinary small washbasin water with 0.25 unit 1 tablet. Then take it out and give it dry eye drops. The basin used for soaking in water should be scrubbed clean, and the unclean medicinal bath in the container used for soaking in water has also been polluted, which can not achieve the due effect. When soaking in water, keep the water temperature at about 25-28 degrees with a heating rod, which is beneficial to its recovery. Heating rod is an essential tool for treatment and rehabilitation. As will be mentioned below, including letting it eat when it is sick, it depends on heating rods to maintain the water temperature. There is no heating rod at this time of winter, so the temperature problem has a great influence on it. If it suffers from white eyes again, it will be difficult to treat it.
Nutrition is very important during illness, otherwise you will not be able to persist because of physical exhaustion. It's 1 1 month, and it's getting colder and colder. If it is not heated, it will lose its appetite. The key factor of turtle's activity and appetite depends on the water temperature. Use a heating rod to raise the water temperature to a constant temperature of about 28 degrees, put it in and let it adapt for a while before feeding. Buy some shrimp and wash it for him. Turtles like them best, and they are very nutritious. The above oral medicine can also be packed in shrimp or taken with shrimp. If it can't open its eyes when it is sick, put the shrimp in front of its nose and mouth with tweezers to lure it to eat. Be patient, because it can't see, and sometimes it takes several minutes to lure it to eat. When it is well, it must be warmed up this year, so a heating rod is also an essential tool. I just got sick and I am very weak, so I need to warm up and recuperate. The water temperature is set at about 25 degrees. Usually, we don't feed raw pork and other livestock meat, but feed fish and shrimp. Take care of yourself for a while before feeding turtle food.
May the tortoise of the landlord recover soon ~! If you have any questions, you can hi.
Symptoms: the eyes of the sick turtle are inflamed and congested, and the eyes are swollen. The cornea and mucous membrane of the eye are eroded by the inflammation of the eye, and the outside of the eyeball is covered with white secretion, so the eye cannot be opened. Sick turtles often rub their eyes with their forelimbs, which makes them move slowly. In severe cases, people stopped eating, and finally died of weakness and other diseases.
First of all, correct everyone's wrong views. I used the second generation tortoise eye protection, and finally the tortoise met Marx. Oxytetracycline has been eliminated for a long time and has little effect on the treatment of turtle diseases. White eyes are local inflammation, and injections and medicine are harmful to them. Maybe the eyes were poisoned by the flustered owner before they were cured.
The use of eye drops, it is recommended to use ofloxacin containing antibiotics, which is proved to be the most effective by experiments. At the same time, I also use eye drops specially for reptiles in Japan, which is also very effective.
Treatment of white eyes generally uses eye drops+bathing. The medicated bath can use 100 bacterial powder water prepared by Panshi Aquarium Clinic.
If you take a bath, you don't need to apply chlortetracycline, you can add some eye drops.
It is found that soft-shelled turtle has white eyes, so it should be isolated from other soft-shelled turtles and soaked in potassium permanganate for 2 minutes to disinfect its body surface. Remember to change water every day.
Eye drops are an arduous task. Generally, turtles have poor resistance. If they don't resist very much, it may be almost the same.
A turtle with fierce resistance can open its front paws, pull its head out with its thumb and forefinger, and hold both sides of its neck to fix it. If you can't handle it, you can add the middle finger and fix it into a triangle.
You can prepare tweezers or cotton swabs, gently open your eyelids and order eye drops once a day.
If you find that the white fat particles are serious, you can wash them off with eye drops. If you can't wash them off, you can gently pull them out with a cotton swab.
Generally 1 month is enough.
White eyes are not terrible, as long as you have patience and love, you will be fine.
I was cured with chlortetracycline, but it didn't work before because his eyelids were difficult to open and he had to apply it outside. Later, I put two fingers straight into the shell and pulled it out. Because I didn't eat because I was sick, I lost a lot of weight. My head was almost covered with skin on both sides, and my fingers could easily reach in. Pull your head out with your right hand and replace it with your left. Put your knuckles against its head so that it won't retract. Then pick up the cotton swab in your right hand and slowly open your eyelids. Be patient. Dial it a few times more, and its eyelids will not close soon. This time! Squeeze out chlortetracycline and gently and quickly apply it to the eye kernel. It's bound to be tangled, so hurry up. I only painted for about a week, which is not bad. It was not easy to use this method at first, but it became very Ou Ke after several times.
I usually change the water after the tortoise finishes eating, and then put one or two oxytetracycline in the water. I often disinfect and clean the pool. Except for white eye disease (in fact, I picked up a stray turtle with good intentions, and the turtle was infected with white eye disease. I didn't know what white eye disease was at first ...)
White eye disease has always been a disease that puzzles novices. Because of its infectivity, it is often accompanied by other diseases! Become the killer of many turtles.
In fact, white eye disease is not terrible. The key lies in the word "diligence"! ~ chloramphenicol eye drops can be cured in 2 months at most. However, because this method is more troublesome and takes a long time, many people can't stick to it, which leads to the continuous deterioration of the condition! ~
When I first started raising turtles, I also learned a lot about the treatment of white eye disease. Either the effect is slow, or the narrative is not detailed enough, and so on, and the ideal effect is not obtained.
Later, I began to explore some practical methods myself. Let me introduce my method:
1, (lazy and efficient) Personally, I think it is best to sprinkle the powder of Xianfeng 4 capsule on the eyes of sick turtles, and then cover the eyes with chlortetracycline eye ointment. 1~3 days/time. Then soak the turtle in water, and it is best to heat it conditionally, and the effect is very good. Severe cases can basically recover within 1 month.
2, (general), with eye drops. But that seems very general. Eye drops actually have many different functions. The white eye disease we are talking about is actually the inflammation of the blink membrane of the turtle's eyes, which is somewhat similar to the inflammation of our human membrane, so the eye drops used to treat the inflammation of the eye membrane have the best effect, such as rifampicin and cortisone, and the effects are all good.
White eye disease: white eye disease of red-eared turtle
Etiology: The stocking density is high and the water quality is too alkaline. The disease is more common in red-eared turtles and soft-shelled turtles, and the incidence of young turtles is higher.
The onset season is more common in spring, autumn and early spring after overwintering.
Symptoms: the eyes of the sick turtle are inflamed and congested, and the eyes are swollen. Cornea and nasal mucosa are eroded by inflammation. The outside of the eyeball is white.
The secretion is covered and cannot be opened. Sick turtles move slowly, stop eating when they are serious, and eventually die.
Control method: For soft-shelled turtle with mild symptoms (eyes can still be opened), it can be soaked in 30 ml/g furazolidone solution for 40 minutes for 5 days. For the turtle with serious illness (eyes can't be opened), the white matter and necrotic epidermis in the eyes are first removed, and then the sick turtle is soaked in a solution containing vitamin B and oxytetracycline, and 0.5 tablets of oxytetracycline and 2 tablets of vitamin B are put in every 500g of water. If the green turtle is treated, furazolidone should be applied to the eyes instead of being soaked all over the body.
If the turtle's eyes can still be opened, drop the medicine directly on it.
If you have completely closed your eyes, you may wish to take some violent measures.
Second, don't put the turtle into the water after dropping the medicine. No matter how good your water is, after all, eye diseases are bacterial, so try to avoid them when the little guy is weak.
Third, timely disinfection. Wrote a lot of information about disinfection methods. I don't usually do this. I use many drugs. I usually disinfect with strong brine (this is actually the same as raising fish)
Fourth, prevention. First of all, you should change the water frequently. In fact, if the tortoise is big enough, you don't have to water it too much. My experience is that the bigger the turtle, the more he likes to bask in the sun instead of playing in the water. Maybe one day you find that your turtle doesn't like to move around all day, but likes to move around with the movement of the sun and stretch its limbs, then it may be mature. In addition, other information about the treatment and prevention of white eye disease is introduced.
