I. The reason why the turtles pull out the white secretions
In the breeding of turtles During the process, if you find that the tortoise has white excrement, you can recall whether you have fed some white food, such as grass carp, to the tortoise before. After eating such food, the tortoise may excrete white excrement. In addition, there is another situation: the tortoise has enteritis. Turtles with gastroenteritis will have poor mental status and may pull out white feces. The specific reasons for the white feces of the tortoise can be judged according to the following aspects: 1. If the tortoise discharges white substances in the process of soaking in water, and the discharge is a lump of white objects like toothpaste, it may be that the tortoise is in the water. Uric acid excretion. Yes, turtles usually shoot uric acid, and usually only tortoises will excrete uric acid, and terrapins and semi-aquatic turtles will not have this phenomenon. The tortoise’s uric acid excretion is not harmful to its body, and the owner does not need to worry too much.
2. If the tortoise discharges a jelly-like white substance, the white substance is likely to be the tortoise’s intestinal mucosa. It is normal for tortoises to excrete this substance occasionally, but if it is excreted frequently, it means that the tortoise is suffering from gastroenteritis and should be treated in time.
3. If the tortoise pulls out white floccules and the discharge frequency is high, it is very likely that there is a problem with the tortoise’s urinary system, and timely measures should be taken to treat the sick tortoise. If this symptom of the turtle is not treated in time, it may cause the diseased turtle to produce stones and make it healthier.
Second, the treatment of tortoise gastroenteritis
Treatment of tortoise stomach Enteritis should focus on anti-inflammatory, antidiarrheal and protection of the gastrointestinal mucosa of the sick turtle’s stomach. For the sick turtle with mild gastroenteritis, it can be treated by feeding it with berberine, oxytetracycline and other drugs, mixing the drug in the feed of the sick turtle, or mixing the drug in the egg white liquid to make it sticky and then pouring Clothes. For the sick turtle with severe gastroenteritis, it is necessary to directly soak the sick turtle in an antibiotic solution for 24 hours of soaking. During this period, pay attention to the recovery of the sick turtle, and reduce the amount of medicine in time according to the change of the sick turtle’s appetite.
However, if the tortoise is gastroenteritis caused by the death of a large number of beneficial intestinal bacteria caused by drugs, it should be placed in a dark, ventilated and dry place to rest for a few days, during which time it should be fed an appropriate amount every day. Water and medicine containing beneficial bacteria, after a few days, the sick turtle can recover.
