When a turtle falls from a height, as long as its shell does not crack and there is no vomiting blood or other bad performance, it is usually no big deal. Turtles should not be placed in too high a position, and they should also avoid climbing high. It is best to use smooth walls for feeding containers, so that they can't climb out. If you accidentally fall, you must check and treat it in time. There are different treatment methods for trauma and internal injury.
2. What should I do if the tortoise falls1. Trauma: The tortoise's trauma is divided into two situations, one is a little crack, but there is no other manifestation. This situation is slight and can be recovered by itself. The other is bleeding, which requires disinfection of the wound, flushing the wound with hydrogen peroxide, smearing poviodarone, and applying Yunnan Baiyao.
2. Internal injuries: The internal injuries of turtles are generally serious, and they will start vomiting blood, even lasting for several days. If it can still eat, it can mix some oral Yun'an white medicine in the food. If it doesn't eat, it may need to be fed manually and soaked in a medicinal bath.
3. Prevention: Falling is troublesome for turtles, so we must do a good job of prevention at ordinary times. The cylinder wall of the feeding container should be higher, or a cover should be placed on it to prevent it from running out. For some turtles who always want to escape from prison, they can be raised in a cool place, which can be much better.
