2. How to treat tortoise white eye disease

1. Change water in time: The main cause of white eye disease is poor water quality. In view of this situation, it is necessary to change water in time. Usually, the water change cycle is the same as the feeding cycle, and every time the water is changed, it must be changed completely, because there is not much water in itself, and it is polluted by feces, so it is impossible to improve the water situation if it is changed less.

2, medication: Changing water can prevent the disease from worsening, but if you want to treat it, you still need to give it medication. Generally, furacilin or furazolidone is selected, and 30 mg should be added to each liter of water, and it is advisable to soak for 40 minutes. Usually, after continuous soaking for 3-5 days, white eye disease will recover.

3. Daily prevention: If you want to prevent white eye disease, you can usually feed some animal viscera, such as beef liver and chicken liver, which can strengthen the nutrition of turtles and improve their disease resistance. Containers must be disinfected, usually soaked in 10% salt water for 30 minutes.
