The pathogen is bacteria. Visible to the naked eye, the skin of turtle limbs, neck and tail is eroded, and the skin tissue is necrotic, turning white and yellow. In severe cases, the skin of limbs rots, claws fall off and bones are exposed. Isolate the disease in time when it is found, and soak the turtle with 10ppm sulfonamides or antibiotics for 48 hours; Take a bath with 2-3ppm bleach for about two weeks to prevent turtles from biting each other and causing skin rot.
Etiology of skin rot: caused by monospora infection. Due to the high feeding density, turtles bite each other, and after bacterial invasion, the skin tissue of the injured part is necrotic. Water pollution can also easily cause turtles to get sick. Symptoms: the affected part of the diseased turtle festers and the epidermis is white. Prevention and treatment methods: firstly, remove the focus of the affected area and apply it with chlortetracycline eye ointment once a day/kloc-0 times. If the soft-shelled turtle eats by itself, oxytetracycline powder can be added to the food; If the tortoise has stopped eating, it can be coated with chlortetracycline and then fed in isolation. Don't feed water, so as not to aggravate the condition. Turtles will be raised in ponds after recovery.
