CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to disinfect the pot for raising stone turtles?

1. How to disinfect the pot for raising stone turtles?

1. To disinfect the turtle, soak it in diluted potassium permanganate solution for fifteen to twenty minutes.

2. Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidant, which releases new ecological oxygen when it meets organic matter, and has the effect of killing bacteria. Its bactericidal power is extremely strong, and the concentration for turtles to soak is 1:2000-1:5000 (volume fraction), that is, add 0.2-0.5 grams of potassium permanganate to 1 kilogram of water.

3. Key points for disinfection of turtles with potassium permanganate dilution solution:

1. The medicine should be used immediately after it is prepared.

2. The dosage must be accurate. Too high a concentration will cause local corrosion and ulceration of the turtle. The concentration should not be increased arbitrarily to extend the immersion time.

3. Use wooden or plastic containers to prepare the liquid medicine, not metal containers.

4. It is best to choose a sunny day with appropriate temperature (10℃～15℃) and avoid direct sunlight during the medicinal bath.

5. Do not leave the turtle unattended during the medicated bath and pay attention to observation. If you find any abnormal behavior such as floating head, moving, becoming restless, etc., take it out immediately.

How to deal with overdose of disinfectants on turtles: Once you find that your turtle has used too much disinfectant, immediately rinse it with plenty of clean water and soak it in clean water. Change the water every 10 minutes, and change the water 3-5 times in a row. Then feed the turtle carefully to allow it to gradually recover and return to health.

2. What kind of medicine should be used to disinfect the golden coin turtle after it has just hatched?

Generally, the body surface is disinfected with light salt water. There is no need for disinfection in any case.

Healthy turtle seedlings do not need to be disinfected. If you are worried about bacterial infection, just soak them briefly in a diluted povidone-iodine solution.

3. How long does it take for the golden coin turtle to soak in potassium permanganate?

‍

A few days ago, a friend of mine followed the advice of a friend who raises turtles and used potassium permanganate to disinfect turtles. However, due to the high concentration, some turtles were burned, and two were found dead today. Here, I would like to remind all customers not to abuse potassium permanganate. Generally, potassium permanganate is only used to disinfect turtle ponds, and is not suitable for soaking and disinfecting turtles. Because potassium permanganate is an industrial disinfectant, if it is used to disinfect turtles, the dosage is difficult to control. If too much is used, it will burn the turtle's body and internal organs, and in severe cases, it may cause the turtle's death. If the dosage is too small, it will not have any disinfecting effect at all.

Hello, it is my honor to receive your help. I will answer every question of turtle lovers very seriously:

Your turtle has skin rot. The treatment and treatment methods are:

1. Ensure the breeding temperature is 25-30 degrees. Add heated water to the breeding box, cover it with insulation, and pay attention to frequent ventilation. It is best to use a ceramic heater or infrared heating lamp specially designed for reptiles to heat the air in the breeding box to avoid the breeding of bacteria, fungi, viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia and other pathogenic microorganisms caused by high temperature and high humidity.

2. Cleaning and disinfection of breeding containers

3. It is recommended to raise the fish in dry conditions, take a bath 2-3 times a day, each bath lasts 10-15 minutes, or alternate between dry and water feeding.

4. When dry-raising, apply 5% povidone-iodine solution to the affected area several times a day. When water-raising, soak the turtle in a 5% solution: water = 1:500-1000 ratio.

5. If the skin rot is serious or causes food refusal, oral antibiotics (such as cefoperazone) are recommended for treatment.

Povidone iodine can be bought on TAOBAO. If you go to a pharmacy, they will usually fool you with iodine. Iodine is very irritating, especially to the eyes of small turtles. It is recommended not to use it too much. (If it is really urgent and there is no medicine available, it can be used as an emergency measure).

Some people will suggest you to use oxytetracycline or furazolidone (yellow powder) for bathing, which is indeed very effective, but it is too irritating and is not recommended, especially when the skin rot is not serious in the early stage. Try to use povidone iodine solution. It is better to use less medicine rather than more.

It's not a serious disease, it's easy to treat, and it will heal in about a week. Just hold on. I like raising turtles very much, and I have raised many kinds. I'm glad to communicate with you. Raising turtles is a slow job, and you can't be impatient. You must be patient when you are sick and treated. I wish your turtle a speedy recovery.

How old is your turtle? First, check if its eyes are swollen or not. Is there any white film in the eyes? According to the cause of the disease, you can go to the turtle store to buy turtle protection liquid (eye disease) and he will understand. Come back and remember to add 2.5ml of medicine to 25-28 degree water for soaking treatment. The situation will get better. I have raised turtles for 7 years. The one at home is very big now. It often gets sick and I treat it every time.
