The redness, swelling and bulge of tortoise eyes are largely due to the pollution of water quality. We all know that when raising tortoises, we always need to add some clean water into the cultivation container, and the tortoise can’t live without the environment with water. If the water quality has problems and is polluted to a great extent, the first problem is the part that often comes into contact with water, The tortoise’s eye is a very fragile part, so it is basically caused by the swelling and ulceration of the eye caused by the problem of water.

In addition to the pollution of water quality, the lack of some nutrients and the pH of water source will cause turtle eye diseases, which will be handled according to different reasons.
The living environment of the tortoise must be taken care of in time, remove the food residues and some moss, and replace it with a clean water source. Conditional friends can directly install a filter to filter the impurities and bacteria in the water. Don’t replace the fresh tap water. We all know that tap water contains a lot of toxic substances. Only after a period of volatilization and filtration can the content of this toxic substance be reduced.

Adjust the pH of the water to the appropriate position. Do not add anything containing saline and alkaline components to the water, which will make the water alkaline. The alkaline living environment will easily make the tortoise infected with diseases.
If there is more than one turtle raised, after finding the sick turtle, we must isolate them in time to avoid cross infection and put them back after the sick turtle is cured. The choice of drugs can be consulted with experienced friends. Don’t smear drugs indiscriminately, which will make the condition more serious.
