1. What is the reason for the rotten skin of grass turtles The rotten skin of grass turtles may be due to the poor water quality in which they live, and the resistance of grass turtles itself is not strong. If the water quality is too poor, it is easy to have rotten skin. It may also be a bacterial infection. After the turtles are injured in the process of transportation or climbing, the bacteria will take advantage of it, causing them to have skin rot.
It is difficult to distinguish the early stage of skin rot, because the early symptoms of skin rot are similar to molting. Generally, only when the skin appears yellow or white in the middle stage can we accurately judge whether it is skin rot. In the later period, the rotten skin will fester. At this time, the rotten skin is already serious. If it is not treated in time, it may affect their health.
2. What about the rotten skin of grass turtlesThe resistance and immunity of grass turtles are poor. If the breeding environment is poor, they are easy to get sick. If the rotten skin disease of grass turtle is not serious, it can be treated without treatment. Because the more drugs they use, the stronger their drug resistance will be, so breeders can dry them first, then keep the surrounding environment clean and let them recover on their own.
If the skin rot is serious, the breeder must treat them with medicine. During treatment, they should be put on land for dry cultivation first, and then some iodine or erythromycin should be smeared on the affected part. If the rotten skin does not affect eating, some amoxicillin can be added to the food.
