The rotten skin of grass turtles may be due to poor water quality, and the resistance of grass turtles in infancy is relatively poor. If the water quality of raising them is too poor, they are prone to skin rot. It is also possible that there is insufficient light, and grass turtles have the habit of basking in the sun. If artificially bred grass turtles do not often bask in the sun, they will also increase the probability of skin rot. It may also be traumatic infection. Grass turtles are injured during transportation, fighting and climbing. If they are not treated in time, their skin will be infected, and finally their skin will rot.
2. The most effective method to treat the rotten skin of grass turtles1. Dry culture: If you want to treat the rotten skin of grass turtles quickly, you must first fish them out of water and raise them on land. Because dry culture can not only inhibit the growth of bacteria, but also accelerate the absorption of drugs.
2, basking in the sun: The second is to give them more sunshine, because the ultraviolet rays in the sun can destroy the bacteria on their body surface and accelerate the recovery.
3. Drug treatment: Finally, the breeder can apply drugs to the affected areas to speed up their recovery. The drugs suitable for grass turtles are povidone iodine, erythromycin, chlortetracycline and so on. In addition, if breeders want them to recover faster, they can add some anti-inflammatory drugs, such as penicillin, amoxicillin, etc., and take them orally and externally, which can treat their skin rot more effectively.
