If the small crocodile turtle is found to have rotten skin, then they are most likely to have "rotten skin disease.". The disease is usually caused by infection with Mycobacterium monocytogenes. In the case of very poor water quality, small snapping turtles are prone to this disease. Especially in the case of wounds on their bodies, the disease can become very serious.
The symptoms of this disease are very obvious. If the skin tissue of their limbs, neck, tail, and other parts turns white or yellow, they are born with this disease. If not treated in time, the symptoms of the disease will be more serious, such as necrosis of their skin tissue, which will lead to their death. Therefore, after discovering the symptoms, we must treat them in time.
After the small alligator turtle gets sick, it must be treated in time, otherwise it is not easy to treat after the symptoms worsen, and even lead to the death of the small crocodile turtle. It is better to consult a special doctor and then treat it with special drugs. There are many kinds of drugs, such as erythromycin, aureomycin and so on, once a day. In addition, some oxytetracycline needs to be added to the food of small snapping turtles, which is also helpful for the treatment of diseases.
In addition to the treatment process, there are still some problems to pay attention to. For example, if there are other turtles in the container, it is necessary to isolate the small snapping turtles with symptoms to prevent them from contracting the disease. In addition, considering that water quality is an important cause of this disease, we need to pay attention to the water quality in the process of breeding, change water regularly, or use filters to improve water quality, if there is no filter, we can not change water for a long time.
