1. Will water turtles drown Water turtles drown. Although water turtles can swim, they don't have the ability to breathe underwater. Some turtles with weak swimming ability are at risk of drowning if they enter the deep water environment, and many young turtles may encounter this situation. Therefore, even deep water turtles should not be raised in deep water when they are young, but the water level can be raised slowly according to their growth. In addition, turtles need timely treatment after being found choking.
2. What should I do if the turtle chokes?1. Handstand water control: After finding the turtle drowning, it needs to be fished out of the water at the first time. Because the water has entered the lungs, don't put it flat after fishing out, but stand it upside down and pat it on the back at the same time, so that it can spit out some water. Be careful not to pat it too hard.
2, turn over and press: In addition to handstand water control, you can also turn it over and put it on the ground with its abdominal nail facing up, and then tap its carapace, which can press the lungs and empty the residual water.
3. Resume breathing: After the water in the lung is emptied, the next step is to help it breathe. At this time, it is necessary to put the turtle flat first, then gently stretch its forelimbs with your hands, and be sure to pull alternately, so that its lungs can breathe normally, and wait until it has breath.
