First, the reason why the eyes of the Brazilian turtle are swollen and unable to open
The eyes of the Brazilian turtle Swelling and unable to open the eyes are obvious signs of illness, and the pet owner needs to give it corresponding treatment in time. Brazilian turtles will have swollen eyes and can’t open their eyes, mostly due to white eye disease. White eye disease is a common and high incidence disease of Brazilian turtles, and the disease is more common in spring and autumn. When the tortoise suffers from white eye disease, its eyes will be covered with a layer of white fog, and in severe cases, its eyes will not be able to open. If the white eye disease of turtles is not treated in time, it can lead to the death of the sick turtles. For this disease, it must be detected and treated as soon as possible.
Second, how to treat swollen eyes and inability to open the eyes of the Brazilian tortoise
Treat the Brazilian tortoise White eye disease, it is necessary to understand the specific symptoms of the diseased turtle, and to adopt the most appropriate treatment method according to the severity of the diseased turtle.
1. If there are only a few Brazilian turtles with swollen eyes and inability to open their eyes, the sick turtles should be fished out in time, isolated for separate treatment, and the original breeding container should be disinfected. Prevent other healthy turtles from getting infected. The specific method of treating the sick turtle is: apply antibiotic eye drops
on the eyes of the sick turtle, and apply 1~2 times a day to the sick turtle. If it improves, it needs to be injected with penicillin for treatment, which is injected once a day. Generally, after 2 to 3 days, the disease of the sick turtle can improve. If the symptoms of the sick turtle do not improve, it is recommended to send the sick turtle to a pet hospital and hand it over to a professional veterinarian for treatment.
2. If most of the turtles in the container have swollen eyes and can’t open their eyes, the isolation step can be ignored, and an appropriate amount of antibiotics can be directly poured into the breeding container to soak the turtle body, each time about Soak for 30~60 minutes. In addition, after curing the sick tortoise, it is also necessary to pay attention to strictly prevent the tortoise from white eye disease. The white eye disease is mostly caused by the poor water quality of the breeding water and the breeding of a large number of bacteria in the water. Keeping the water quality of turtle breeding water clean can effectively prevent many common diseases of turtles. I hope turtle owners will pay attention to this and change the water regularly for turtles.
