If the tortoise is soft, it can be saved. First, put it in shallow water to rest and have a look. The temperature should be kept constant, preferably between 28-30 ℃. Don't take medicine easily and let it recover by itself. There are many reasons for its softening, which may be lack of nutrition or infection with bacteria, enteritis and other diseases, or the water is too deep to cause it to choke. In either case, don't use drugs indiscriminately, so as not to aggravate the illness.

1. Strengthen light: The first step in treating soft nail disease is to strengthen light, because light can promote the synthesis of vitamin D and benefit calcium absorption. Usually, let it bask in the sun every day, and the time is usually in the early morning. At this time, the light is not strong, so don't bask in the sun at noon to prevent it from dehydrating. The sun time is not too long, generally half an hour a day.

2. Adjust the feed: To prevent turtles from soft nail disease, the simplest way is to choose some calcium-containing feeds, the most common of which is shrimp, dried shrimp skin. It should be noted that it must be chopped before feeding, which is too big to digest. And can't use salt, otherwise it will cause its body edema.

3, adding calcium powder: In addition to choosing calcium-supplemented feed, calcium powder can also be added to feed, and cuttlefish bone powder is commonly used, which is cheap and has no side effects.
