The head and limbs of the golden coin turtle are stretched out. When put into water, the turtle is submerged but there are no bubbles and it floats. When its limbs are pulled, it still moves?

Check if there are any bubbles in the nostrils. If it is pneumonia, dry feeding is needed.

Generally, pneumonia is caused by a cold that is not treated in time. The general symptoms are foaming from the nose. In severe cases, the mouth will also foam. The patient opens his mouth and sometimes makes a little sound. The patient does not like to eat, does not like to move, and drinks water like crazy. If it is confirmed to be pneumonia, it must be treated in time, otherwise it is easy to die. First of all, you have to keep the turtle alone, not with other healthy turtles, for fear of infection. Keep the water clean and the indoor temperature balanced. Every time you change the water, be careful not to make it too cold or too hot. Basically, keep it within a few degrees of the indoor temperature. If the turtle eats a small amount of food, it means it is not very serious. If it does not eat at all, then it is more serious. You can add some glucose powder in the water to maintain its basic nutrition and physical strength. Feed it with live shrimps, peel the live shrimps and cut them into small pieces that it can eat in one bite, usually the size of mung beans or soybeans. If the turtle still eats, apply amoxicillin on the next piece. Generally, drugstores sell amoxicillin capsules. Use the powder inside. Don't be greedy for too much at a time, just a little bit will do, otherwise the turtle will not eat. Give it twice a day, morning and evening, and make sure that one tube of capsules is enough for 2-3 days. Don't be impatient and greedy, or you will kill the turtle with the medicine. If the turtle doesn't even eat live shrimps, you can only add medicine to the water. One tube of amoxicillin capsules is enough for 1-2 days. Add it gradually, don't add too much at a time. It's okay to add glucose powder together, but don't use too much water (you can dissolve amoxicillin and glucose powder in warm water in other containers and add them to the water). No matter where the turtle was raised before, it is best to put it in a plastic basin (pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of the plastic basin), put something under the bottom of the basin to tilt it, and keep half of the basin full of water and half dry. Don't add too much water, just make sure the deepest part does not exceed the bottom edge of the turtle shell, because the water needs to be changed every morning and evening. If you don't use amoxicillin, you can use oxytetracycline, but don't use both drugs at the same time, which is not good. Just choose one, increase or decrease it according to the actual situation of the turtle. Generally, it will get better in about a week. Don't be impatient, and don't give up on it, because it may get better under your careful care. If even you as the owner give up on it, it will really be hopeless. Pay attention to observe its condition at all times. As for the wound you mentioned, I don't know what caused it, so I can't say, but it's more important to treat pneumonia first. If the wound is seriously infected, you have to treat it together, but it will be more troublesome. You must ensure that the treatment of pneumonia is focused on and then cooperate with the treatment of the wound. Generally, the treatment of wounds requires dry feeding, but pneumonia cannot be dry feeding. In this case, you can only take it out and apply medicine after the turtle has taken the medicine. A milder ointment like chloramphenicol eye ointment will be fine, which will not be very irritating. Use a cotton swab to apply a thick layer on the wound. The turtle will struggle because of the pain, but you have to be cruel and apply it, otherwise it will not get better. Don't let the turtle eat the ointment. After applying it, put it in another dry basin and wait for the ointment to be absorbed and dry. The time is about 30-60 minutes. Don't leave it for a whole morning or afternoon, because pneumonia will make the turtle love to drink water. Turtles cannot leave water for a long time. After making sure the ointment is dry, put the turtle back to the drier "land" side of the original basin. However, be sure to turn the turtle's head toward the water side to ensure that it can find the water source. Keep the turtle's head 3-5 cm from the water surface, not too far. If it is too far, the turtle may move too much and consume its energy. Generally, whether it is taken orally or applied externally, the efficacy period is one week. After one week, the dosage should be reduced or replaced with other drugs as appropriate. The drugs that can be replaced for oral administration can be cephalosporin or oxytetracycline. If the turtle has obvious improvement, the dosage should be reduced accordingly. For external use, there is also a kind of ointment called compound sulfonamide zinc oxide ointment, which can usually be bought in pharmacies. It costs a few dollars and is a pink ointment with a light mint flavor. I suggest using chloramphenicol eye ointment at first. If there is improvement after a week, you can change to this one. Erythromycin is not necessary because the effect is similar to chloramphenicol. In fact, the turtle is also spiritual. It knows that everything you do for it is to save it. If it can really get better, you will find that it will become closer to you than before. I hope your turtle can recover soon. Reference: Baidu

Additional information

The golden coin turtle is the yellow-throated turtle (scientific name: Mauremys mutica), a reptile of the family Testudinidae. It is distributed in Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan Island, and the eastern and southern parts of mainland China, Hainan, and west to Yunnan. It is commonly found in the waters of mountain basins or river valleys in hilly areas and semi-mountainous areas, often in nearby small bushes or grass. The type locality of this species is in the Zhoushan Islands of Zhejiang Province.

The golden coin turtle is an ancient and magical creature with extremely high medicinal value. It is especially suitable for people with tumors, postoperative recovery, liver disease, kidney disease, the weak, frequent colds, insomnia, women with postpartum headaches, periarthritis of the shoulder and other rheumatic bone pain, ankylosing lumbar spondylitis, chronic gastritis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, and sub-healthy people such as those who overuse the brain; it can regulate human skills, improve human immunity and anti-fatigue ability.

Guangdong people like to eat tonic food by making soup, and some rich people choose to make soup with golden coin turtles. However, the price of a coin turtle weighing 4 catties in the market has risen to 14,000 yuan per catties, which is surprisingly high. According to this market price, a pot of golden coin turtle soup, with other medicinal materials such as cordyceps, will cost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. Does drinking the sky-high golden coin turtle soup really prevent cancer as the legend says? According to the pharmacological analysis of golden coin turtles provided by the School of Life Sciences of Sun Yat-sen University: every 300g contains 21.30mm of active factor ingredients; 7.30 active calcium and vitamins; 6.23 multivitamins; 3.60 iron; 2.70 selenium; 1.86 zinc; 2.13 titanium; 2.76 anti-cancer substances; 3.89mm trace elements. These elements are all needed by the human body and have the special effect of maintaining the balance of yin and yang in the human body. The content of active factors in golden coin turtles is higher, and the molecules are different from those of ordinary turtles. It is no wonder that some top rich people choose golden coin turtles as natural high-end health supplements on the table. The golden coin turtle is an ancient and magical creature. The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the ancient Warring States Period and the "Shennong Bencao Jing" in the Eastern Han Dynasty both record the use of tortoise shells as medicine to relieve pain and swelling. The three-lined closed shell golden coin turtle is particularly effective in fighting cancer, detoxification, anti-inflammatory, liver and kidney. Deng Gaopi, a professor at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, said: "Chinese folk Chinese medicine likes to use golden coin turtles as one of the main medicines for health care, beauty, tumor prevention and treatment, and longevity and health, which has a certain theoretical basis. However, there are various rumors in society that golden coin turtles can cure cancer and cure all diseases, but there is no accurate clinical experimental data to support it. The rich have pushed the price of golden coin turtles to a new high, which has exceeded the scope of medicine and belongs to the phenomenon of shortage economics." The golden coin turtle is a national second-level protected animal. According to data, there were more than 10,000 wild golden coin turtles in my country 20 years ago, and they have been decreasing at a rate of 70% every year. Now they are basically extinct. In 1990, a golden coin turtle seedling cost 100 yuan, and this year it has risen to 18,000 yuan, an increase of 130% in 19 years, far exceeding the increase in other prices. The price of golden coin turtles is so high, who eats them? Zhang Junxiu, president of the Guangdong Food Industry Association and executive vice president of the Guangdong Pharmaceutical Industry Association, said that the sharp rise in the price of golden coin turtles is due to the fact that people have spread the belief that golden coin turtles have health benefits, especially anti-cancer effects, which has led to people from Hong Kong and Macao or wealthy people in the mainland buying golden coin turtles everywhere, pushing up the price of turtles. Yangcun Town, Boluo County, Guangdong Province is the distribution center of the Chinese golden coin turtle sales market, accounting for 60% of the national market share. Nearly a thousand golden coin turtles are used as commodities every year, and the ones who really buy them are the wealthy and high-end rich people who buy them regularly from the turtle farm as a luxury health supplement on the table, and only they can afford it. There are many people who buy several at a time, especially some wealthy families in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, who are generous. A Hong Kong tycoon surnamed Li bought more than 3.8 million yuan at a time. Some people say that he uses them for nourishment, while others say that he uses them for release, praying that his daughter-in-law will give birth to a daughter and recruit a "golden turtle son-in-law" in the future. A Guangzhou billionaire named Chen went to Yangcun to buy golden coin turtles. He asked the breeder how many golden coin turtles he should eat to live a long life. A real estate boss from Shenzhen has bought 24 golden coin turtles in Yangcun for nourishment. My wife gave birth to a boy, but a red birthmark like a golden coin turtle grew on her buttocks. Obviously, this may be a coincidence. But the rich still seem to be a little blind in their consumption of golden coin turtles. Another situation is that some wealthy people have relatives who have tumors. After surgery, they buy two or three golden coin turtles to make soup for nourishment. Each turtle shell is boiled more than three times until the turtle shell dissolves before they are willing to throw away the soup residue. It can be seen that the medicinal value of golden coin turtles has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Another situation is that some bosses and wealthy people buy a few golden coin turtles and raise them at home, taking the homonym of "money returns" as a treasure to protect the house, praying for the health and longevity of their families. At the same time, they think that they will be laughed at if they don't have golden coin turtles at home. And more people only buy golden coin turtle seedlings to raise them as a means of investment to get rich. At Li Yi's Golden Turtle Farm in Yangcun Town, Boluo County, the author visited Guangdong Golden Turtle King Li Yi and learned from him what kind of people eat golden turtles. He said that the people who buy golden turtles for nourishment are: first, the rich, second, the rich and noble, and third, cancer patients. For ordinary people, using golden turtles for health care is still a luxury. Including Li Yi himself, he owns the world's largest golden turtle farm, with 2,100 golden turtle parents, and the seedling production accounts for 40% of the national market share. He has to think carefully if he wants to eat a golden turtle. Although he has raised golden turtles and has driven a BMW 7 Series sedan, he also admits that he is not at the same level as them. He once sold golden turtles worth hundreds of thousands of yuan to the rich, but he himself has not eaten so many. Wu Zhesheng, director of Guangdong Yusheng Hospital, said that golden turtles are too expensive and not many people can afford them. How can more people enjoy the nutritional value and health care functions of golden turtles? Producing turtle essence or other series of products is the best way. It has to be admitted that China's top wealthy people have gradually shifted from fashion luxury consumption to personal health consumption. As my country's breeding technology for golden coin turtles continues to break through, the price of golden coin turtles will gradually drop. I believe that this God-given treasure will be affordable for the Chinese people and benefit mankind.

What diseases can the golden coin turtle cure? Can it cure allergies and asthma? Are there any successful cases of treatment?
