CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What's the matter with the rusty spots on the tortoise's skin? ?

1. What is the reason for the rusty spots on the skin of the tortoise? ?

It would be best to focus the camera and take a clear picture, but I think it may be caused by a little inflammation of the skin. My family has also raised this kind of turtle before. I don't know if the wound is serious (the photo is really not clear). If it is not serious, you can dilute potassium permanganate and apply it to the affected area, which can play a role in sterilization and disinfection. Generally, it will gradually get better in a week.

2. The turtle's shell is light yellow with rust spots. What's wrong with it?

That's called water rust

It's because the water in our living environment is polluted.

It will disappear after a while.

3. I just bought a turtle, and there are spots on its shell, like it's rusted. What's going on?

Bacteria breed, wash with light salt water, turtles are omnivorous, just feed them clean food

4. There are rust-like spots on the turtle's body and shell. Can I use iodine to wipe them?

Yes, you can also use these medicines: 1. Treatment with topical ointments: You can use chlortetracycline eye ointment, erythromycin eye ointment, erythromycin ointment, Wuji ointment, sulfur ointment, acyclovir cream, Daconin, Bactroban, etc. (prices are arranged from low to high. From a practical point of view, there is generally no need to use Daconin, Bactroban and other such drugs). Usage: After applying 1 to 2 times a day, dry it most of the time, soak it in water for half an hour to an hour and complete the feeding. It can usually be cured within 14 days. Among the cheap drugs listed above, sulfur ointment is particularly effective. For infections other than the head and neck, sulfur ointment is recommended. 2. Treatment with topical liquid drugs: You can use iodine tincture, povidone iodine, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide (do not use it on the head), iodine tincture (same as above), and gentian violet (same as above). Using iodine tincture and povidone iodine, you can directly soak it for 5 minutes and then dry it. You can also dilute iodine tincture and povidone iodine and soak it for 10 to 30 minutes and then dry it. Alcohol can be used to wipe the whole body except the eyes. Iodine tincture, hydrogen peroxide, and gentian violet are more effective, but they cannot be used to treat the head and neck (to prevent them from getting into the eyes and causing discomfort to the turtle). They should be used 1 to 2 times a day and kept dry after use. Generally, the disease can be cured within 10 days.

5. Is it okay to soak the turtle shell in vinegar if there is rust on it?

To remove anything from the turtle's shell, place the turtle in clean water and brush it gently with a toothbrush. If you must use vinegar, drip it on the turtle's shell for a short time. Do not soak the turtle in vinegar, and do not get vinegar in its eyes.
