Treatment methods for Asian mountain turtle rotten skin:

1. Completely remove the lesions and apply povidone-iodine and erythromycin eye ointment to the wound once a day.

2. Add oxytetracycline to the turtle's food and raise the Asian mountain turtle in isolation.

3. Take a bath every other day, do not raise them in water, and wait until the bean curd skin recovers before putting them in water.

4. Use potassium permanganate solution to clean turtle-raising equipment every day.

Causes of rotten skin in Asian mountain turtles:

1. Rotten skin is caused by Monospora infection. Due to the high density of breeding, turtles bite and squeeze each other, causing skin trauma. After the invasion of bacteria, the skin tissue of the injured area will be red, swollen and necrotic.

2. Skin wounds that are not treated in time or are exposed to harsh environments are prone to infection, erosion, and odor. When the infection is very serious, the turtle will eat less or refuse water and food.

3. The breeding water quality is seriously polluted, which can easily cause turtles to become sick and rotten.

4. When the temperature drops, you can use a heating rod to adjust the temperature.
