Treatment methods for ground turtle disease:

1. Rotten skin. Mild armor decay can allow ground turtles to heal themselves by increasing light and improving water quality. For more serious nail rot, it is necessary to manually remove all loose and rotten dead nail, then clean and disinfect it with hydrogen peroxide, and then apply potassium permanganate powder.

2. Gastroenteritis. For mild gastroenteritis, you can stop eating and warm up to allow the tortoise to drain toxins from the body and recover on its own. Severely ill turtles need oral administration of metronidazole, metronidazole and other drugs, as well as supplements of multivitamins and lactobacilli tablets.

3. Pneumonia. To treat pneumonia, we must first adjust the environmental temperature, increase lighting, and soak in diluted solutions of streptomycin, penicillin and other drugs. If the situation is extremely serious, injections of drugs such as cephalosporins are required.

Methods to prevent ground turtles from getting sick:

1. Newly purchased turtles must be disinfected when they come back. This is a critical step in protecting turtles.

2. Prevention and treatment of gastroenteritis. Add a small amount of berberine and chloramphenicol to the feed. If you do not eat, you will need to take medication injections. It is best to see a veterinarian to avoid improper medication.

3. Prevention and control of saprolegnia. Pay attention to allowing sick turtles to move on land and bask in the sun to inhibit the growth of water mold. Completely replace the turtle pond with new water, and soak the turtle body with malachite green solution for 10 to 15 minutes.

4. Prevention and treatment of nail rot disease. During transportation, transfer, and stocking, turtles should be handled and turned over gently to avoid heavy falls to prevent excessive damage to the carapace and disease. The sediment at the bottom of the pond is replaced every two years, which can effectively reduce the source of natural pathogenic bacteria.
