a tortoise can't be saved from drowning in a day, not to mention a day. Even if it drowns for 5-10 minutes, it will die. Many people think that turtles can swim in the water, so they will not drown, but even the Brazilian turtles, which are better at swimming, still have the possibility of drowning. Because swimming in the water for a long time will cause it to consume too much strength, in addition, there are other reasons, can also cause it to drown.
1, inverted water control: found that the turtle drowning, the first time it needs to be fished out of the water, because the water has entered the lungs, so fished out after not flat, but put it upside down, while patting its back, so that it can spit out some water, pay attention not to pat too hard.
2. Turn over and press: In addition to standing upside down to control water, you can also turn it over and put it on the ground, so that its abdominal armor is upward, and then knock its back armor, which can compress the lungs, thereby emptying the residual water.
3. Restore breathing: After the water in the lungs is emptied, the next step is to help it breathe. At this time, we need to put the turtle flat first, then gently stretch its forelimbs with our hands, we must alternate pulling, so that its lungs can breathe normally, until it has breath.
