Tortoise gastroenteritis is a gastrointestinal problem, causing inflammation. It will cause diarrhea, poor spirit and loss of appetite. Of course, the best treatment is to go to the pet hospital to get the medicine and give it to eat. Although it needs three poisons, it will be worse not to eat. While taking the medicine, you should also supplement it with vitamins. Diarrhea will make the food it eats lose nutrition. It needs to be replenished.
There are three reasons for gastroenteritis: food, water quality and temperature. These three conditions are the culprit of tortoise gastroenteritis. Pay more attention in the process of raising turtles in the future. The reason for the food is that they didn’t eat clean food, or the owner didn’t notice the deterioration of the food and gave it to the tortoise. There are harmful substances in both foods. It’s strange that eating them will not cause harm to the intestines and stomach. The second is the water quality. There will be a lot of substances in the water. Living in it will also cause garbage, just like its feces. Therefore, the turtle’s living water should be changed frequently. If it is not changed, there will be parasites in it or bacteria. It will also drink the water it lives on. The water will pass through the stomach and get gastroenteritis.
The last one is the temperature. The turtle is an animal whose owner doesn’t need to worry too much, so it is likely to be ignored. The owner has a personal experience of the temperature. When it is cold, he will find more clothes to wear, but he often forgets whether the small animal will be cold. The sudden deterioration of this temperature will make the turtle easy to get sick and cause gastroenteritis.
The owner should take some protective measures to clean and disinfect the turtle’s living environment. Food should also be kept fresh, and the amount of food should be well controlled, otherwise the food it can’t eat will be in the water and bacteria will breed. Feces shall be cleaned to ensure the cleanness of water. The water temperature should be controlled well. Don’t cause too large temperature difference, which will stimulate the turtle’s intestines and stomach. Although it’s very simple, if you don’t handle it carefully, you will inevitably forget the small details, which will also make the turtle sick, so you should treat animals carefully.
