the tortoise can usually be divided into three situations. The first is the natural smell, which is more obvious on the male tortoise. The female tortoise is often not very strong, and the smell can be reduced by regular cleaning. The second is caused by feeding, mainly because too much meat causes its excrement to be too smelly, so it needs to change water in time, or feed it turtle food. The third is putrid odor, indicating that it has rotten nail disease or rotten skin disease and needs treatment.
the rotten nail disease 1. Dry raising: After the tortoise suffers from the rotten nail disease, the first thing to do is dry raising. If the rotten place continues to soak in water, the condition will often become more serious. Dry raising can curb this situation. It should be noted that dry farming is not completely out of contact with water, usually two or three times a day, about half an hour each time.
2. Medication: The next step is to apply medicine after dry maintenance. First, remove the rotten place, at the same time, wash the affected area with hydrogen peroxide, and then apply some potassium permanganate crystal powder, or choose some other anti-inflammatory drugs. Besides the medicine for external use, it also needs to be fed with azithromycin and so on.
3. Prevention: Nail rot should be mainly prevented, because the factors leading to its illness are mostly the deterioration of water quality, so we must pay attention to changing water at ordinary times. It should be noted that the water should not be changed too frequently, but it should not be changed too lazily, and it is better to change all the water every time.
