Although the tortoise has a long life and good resistance, it is still a fresh and weak little life. It will die prematurely due to some improper feeding methods. We must pay attention to the monitoring of its health and the prevention and treatment of diseases. It is found that the tortoise has mental depression, slow movement, dull eyes and poor mood. Friends should think about whether they have incorrect feeding behavior on the way.
The most typical symptom of tortoise infected with white eye disease is that the tortoise’s eyes become obviously white, and there may be some bulges, and the eyes cannot be opened. From a distance, it looks like a bulging white bag. At this time, the sick tortoise will not eat, and the newborn tortoise is the most vulnerable to the disease. In the early stage of white eye disease, it may only infect one eye, but without reasonable disease control, it will also infect the other eye. When you find that your tortoise is uncomfortable, don’t let it go, which will only promote the deterioration of the disease.
After the tortoise is sick, isolate the sick tortoise and do not infect other healthy tortoises. If the condition is not serious, there is no need to take isolation. You can wipe Iodophor to disinfect the eyes. Don’t touch it with too much force. Just wipe it gently. If the situation is more serious, you should apply some anti-inflammatory ointment and liquid medicine to inhibit the deterioration of the disease. After cleaning the foreign bodies around the eyes, apply medicine. Try not to let the water touch the affected area. You can keep it in a shallow water environment, Wait for the tortoise to recover before changing to a more suitable environment.
The reason why the tortoise is infected with this disease is that the water quality is dirty. The bacteria in the dirty water infect the fragile eyes. The cleanliness of the water quality depends on whether the breeder changes the water in time to clean up the tortoise’s living environment. If the water source has not been changed for a long time, the tortoise will live in this environment full of all kinds of bacteria, and the probability of getting sick will be greatly improved. As long as the water is changed on time and in accordance with the drug specifications, the tortoise can recover quickly.
