A tortoise may not die if it falls from more than one meter high. Falling from a height is a dangerous thing for turtles, which will break their shells and cause internal injuries, causing them to vomit blood frequently. Usually, after the turtle is found to be injured, it is necessary to check the wound in time, and apply iodophor and Yunnan Baiyao to the cracked place. For internal injuries, some oral medicines should be used and forced feeding should be given.

1. Treat the wound: After the tortoise breaks its shell, the first thing to do is to deal with the external wound. Rinse the wound with normal saline, then smear iodophor to disinfect it, and finally sprinkle Yunnan Baiyao on the wound. Pay attention to dry cultivation at ordinary times, and soak in water regularly. After soaking in water, use paper towels to absorb water, especially on the wound. After scabbing, anti-inflammatory drugs should be smeared.

2. Treatment of internal injuries: If the turtle still vomits blood after falling, it means that there are internal injuries, which may affect the turtle's appetite. Therefore, it is necessary to treat it with special oral drugs, and at the same time, it should be strongly fed with food to prevent it from starving to death. Usually, after a week, the internal injury will recover, so that you can feed normally.

3. Daily prevention: It is the nature of turtles to escape from prison, so in order to prevent them from falling again, it is best to do a good job of prevention. You can put a breathable cover on the top of the feeding container so that it can't climb out, or replace it with a feeding box with smooth walls and higher.
