1. Dyspnea: The dying symptoms of pneumonia in Brazilian tortoises are dyspnea, because pneumonia will affect their respiratory tract, and when pneumonia is serious, there will be scabs in the nasal cavity, which will cause them to have difficulty breathing. Dead tortoises may also snarl or make other noises as they breathe, and some will barely breathe with their mouths.
2, dim eyes: When Brazilian tortoises die of pneumonia, their eyes will become dim and they look reluctant to go. Some Brazilian tortoises will keep crying after suffering from pneumonia.
3. Reduced activity: When the tortoise dies or stops moving, it stays where it is, and its limbs and neck are soft. Even if Brazilian tortoises can move, their reactions are very slow.
2. How to treat pneumonia in Brazilian tortoisesAfter suffering from pneumonia, Brazilian tortoises need to be fished out and raised dry. If they can eat, anti-inflammatory drugs such as amoxicillin, penicillin and azithromycin can be added to their food. If they can't eat, they need to dissolve the medicine in water and give them a medicated bath. If pneumonia is serious, gentamicin or streptomycin can be injected intramuscularly. During the treatment, the water temperature should be kept above 25 ℃, and water should be sprayed regularly to ensure that their living environment is moist.
