What reason is crocodile turtle oedema, how should treat?

1. Stop feeding food

with salt 1. Reason: Edema of snapping turtles may be caused by eating too much food with salt, because salt will burden their kidneys, so eating too much food with salt will cause edema.

2. Treatment: If it is confirmed that it is caused by eating too much salt, the breeder needs to stop feeding the food with salt first and wait for them to discharge all the salt from their bodies. During this period, some plant feeds, such as vegetables and fruits, can also alleviate edema.

2. Stop feeding or adjust diet

1. Reasons: There are different reasons for edema in different parts of the crocodile turtle. If it is forelimb edema, it may be caused by liver and spleen dysfunction. If it is hind limb edema, it may be caused by renal dysfunction. Most of these two conditions are due to low fat metabolism or malnutrition.

2. Treatment: If it is caused by low fat metabolism, the breeder can stop feeding food and wait for them to recover by themselves. During this period, they can feed some digestive drugs, or control the water temperature above 28 ℃ to improve their metabolic rate. If it is caused by malnutrition, breeders need to adjust their dietary habits and not feed only a single food. It is better to feed animal feed and plant feed together, so as to ensure a comprehensive and balanced nutrition.
