CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Turtle is sick.

1. The turtle is sick.

If it has not eaten for three months, it only means that your turtle wants to commit suicide. Buy turtle food to feed a very small turtle, and feed the others with meat. Maybe you can buy another turtle. It may be lonely and don't want to live anymore.

1. Use soft water (i.e. boiled water)
2. Feed it nutritious food (fish, shrimp, raw pork)
3. After feeding it, it is best to change the water immediately, especially when feeding pork. Pork will form an oil film on the water surface after soaking for a long time, which is bad for the turtle's eyes. You will see a layer of white film on its eyes. At this time, just give it some eye drops. (If the situation does not improve, remember to take it to see a doctor!)
4. Don't keep it soaked in water all the time. Just put enough water to reach half of its body.
5. Change the water once a day.
6. It is very important to keep interacting with it every day and cultivate feelings for it!
7. When you have time, let it bask in the sun or put it in a large water tank to swim...
8. When changing the water, remember to rinse it with water. If the water quality is poor and has a strong smell of bleach, it is best not to use it.

2. What are the symptoms of a cold in red-eared slider turtles?

The main symptoms of Brazilian turtle cold are as follows:

1. The eyes of the sick turtle are dim and sometimes tearful;

2. There is wheezing during breathing;

3. Weakness in the limbs and lack of energy;

4. White sticky fluid flows out from the corners of the mouth, open the mouth to breathe;

5. It will float sideways when put into water;

6. Runny nose or blisters. In severe cases, the nostrils will be scabby, the eyes will be white, and breathing will be difficult. At this time, most of them have developed into pneumonia, and in severe cases, it will turn into lung abscess.

Turtle colds and pneumonia are common in early spring, mainly caused by unstable weather. If kept indoors, it may be caused by poor ventilation. The disease is caused by viruses and secondary bacteria (Staphylococcus and Streptococcus).

What should I do if my red-eared slider catches a cold?

1. Pay attention to nutrition

The breeder does not need to worry too much about the common cold of the red-eared slider, because as long as it is treated in time, the cold will not cause too much harm to the red-eared slider. Of course, the red-eared slider with a cold will become depressed and not like to eat, etc. The breeder should be good at discovering the abnormal behavior of the red-eared slider, and then judge and carry out targeted treatment.

2. Improve the environment

When the red-eared slider catches a cold, the breeder needs to pay attention to the temperature difference when changing the water, and ensure the balance of water temperature. At the same time, the turtle box should be heated and ventilated, maintain a certain humidity, ensure the moisture of the nasal mucosa, avoid dust irritation to the respiratory mucosa, avoid the inhalation of harmful gases, provide a certain space, and increase the turtle's activity. At the same time, it is necessary to add more food to the red-eared slider, and pay attention to the nutritional combination of food. It is necessary to increase the intake of vitamin C to promote the ability of the red-eared slider's immune system to fight against bacteria.

3. Drug treatment

Generally speaking, if the red-eared slider has a mild cold, the owner can choose not to use medication first and let the slider rest quietly. If it is a moderate cold, the owner can use some cold medicine, basically according to the proportion of young children. If it is found that the red-eared slider has induced pneumonia at the same time, you can consider using gentamicin for treatment, or directly choose intramuscular injection to relieve the symptoms of the red-eared slider's cold and pneumonia, so that it can recover as soon as possible.

Pay attention to the breeding environment of the red-eared slider to ensure that the temperature changes little, so that the red-eared slider will not easily catch a cold.

3. Does the turtle have a cold or pneumonia?

Just like my small and large turtles, my small one was just bought recently, and the large one was bought last November. Both of my turtles are like this, they will spit bubbles, it is very likely that your turtle is not sick. My turtle is still normal. I have asked before, there are 2 symptoms: 1. It is rhinitis (you go to the pharmacy to buy medicine and drop 1 ml. 2. It is definitely not a cold, if it is, my turtle would have died long ago. Turtles live in cold places. Your turtle may be a natural turtle or a land turtle. They all like to be on the shore and prefer dark places.

My turtle is a water turtle. The turtle I just bought is the same. He floats very high because he is still young. His body support ability is very poor. As long as you give him more food, there will be no problem.

4. How to deal with cold stone baby turtles

The turtle is just suffering from the cold, so you can first find out the disease and improve the temperature of the breeding environment (close to the upper limit of the turtle species to adapt to more temperature) and stability, increase the number of hot baths accordingly (note: avoid cold), and ensure daily drinking water. At the same time, appropriately increase the intake of vitamin C or vitamin A multivitamin for reptiles, maybe a pound of turtle, three days or so will be enough, too much vitamins given to the turtle can cause continuous poisoning and can also cause unnecessary damage in the cold.

Raise the temperature and add enough water to dilute the toxins in the blood and accelerate the excretion of metabolites, thereby reducing cold symptoms and shortening the course of the disease. Vitamin A can enhance the function of the mucous membrane and reduce the entry of bacteria into the body. Vitamin C can destroy the nucleic acid of the virus, so that the virus cannot damage the cells in the body. Vitamin C can also increase the production of interferon, killing bacteria and viruses entering the body to maintain health.

At the same time, pay attention to maintaining nasopharyngeal and environmental hygiene and ventilation: nasal congestion will lead to insufficient oxygen inhalation, coupled with long-term retention of nasal secretions, resulting in chronic poisoning symptoms. Friends can prepare a rubber nose suction tip to gently suck nasal secretions.

There are few reasons for severe symptoms, and they can also be treated with the use of antiviral drugs and proper ventilation: the common cold can be treated with cold granules, oral anti-viral, acyclovir, etc., as well as quick capsules and cold clear, both of which are drugs that resist the main characteristics of influenza viruses.

We all know that there is no cure for viral colds, and various cold medicines are used because they can only temporarily relieve symptoms. Usually, a reasonable breeding environment, adequate and balanced nutrition, increased exercise, enhanced physical fitness, and improved immunity are the real root causes of the problem!

5. What are the symptoms of a poodle cold?

The main symptoms of dogs suffering from colds are: sick dogs are depressed, have a loss of appetite or no appetite, have red conjunctiva, and have photophobia and tears. There is coughing, purulent nasal discharge, faster breathing, elevated body temperature, chills and tremors. If not treated in time, it may be complicated by tracheitis, bronchitis and other diseases. There is also influenza, which is caused by viruses and occurs in an epidemic manner. The main manifestation is high fever. In addition to the symptoms of a cold, it is often accompanied by conjunctivitis and intestinal catarrh. The early symptoms of many infectious diseases are very similar to those of a cold. For example, the early symptoms of dog fever and the early symptoms of parvovirus disease are generally characterized by elevated body temperature, sneezing, photophobia and tears, and watery nasal discharge in clinical practice. Due to lack of experience, some owners tend to treat several common serious infectious diseases as colds, resulting in misdiagnosis and wrong treatment measures, leading to serious consequences of dog death. False colds are generally more common in the early stages of infectious diseases, and there are actually other special symptoms. When a dog is infected with canine fever virus and becomes ill, the body temperature is usually bi-directional, sometimes high and sometimes low, and most sick dogs have symptoms of eye discharge. In the early stage of parvovirus, the main symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea, and usually vomiting first and then diarrhea. As long as the owner can observe carefully, it is still possible to distinguish and judge. Symptoms and treatment of dog colds

〔symptom〕

Mental depression, half-closed eyes, photophobia and tearing, conjunctival congestion and swelling, serous nasal discharge, sneezing, body temperature above 39 degrees, fast breathing, and sometimes coughing. Loss of appetite. When puppies are sick, if they have not been immunized and their resistance is reduced, they are prone to other infectious diseases. Dogs can be secondarily infected with other infectious diseases. Simple colds can be cured quickly if treated in time. If not treated in time, puppies may be secondarily infected with bronchopneumonia.

[Treatment] Reduce fever, eliminate the cause of the disease, and prevent secondary infection.

(1) 1-2 ml of Bupleurum injection, intramuscular injection, twice a day.

(2) Penicillin 50,000 units/kg body weight, intramuscular injection, twice a day.

[Prevention] Strengthen feeding management and prevent cold stimulation.
