My turtle can’t see its eyes and won’t eat? It rains all the time and there is no sun. What should I do?

White Eye Disease Cause: Eye injury or poor water quality, which irritates the eyes and causes the sick turtle to rub its eyes with its forelimbs, resulting in bacterial infection. The disease is more common in red-eared turtles, turtles, aquatic turtles, etc., and the incidence rate is higher in young turtles. The onset seasons are spring, autumn and the spring after overwintering, which are the peak epidemic periods. Symptoms: The eyes of sick turtles are inflamed, congested, and swollen. The cornea and nasal mucosa are eroded due to eye inflammation, the outside of the eyeball is covered with white secretions, and there is inflammation inside the eye. The sick turtle often rubs its eyes with its forelimbs, moves slowly and stops eating. In severe cases, the sick turtle becomes blind, and eventually the turtle becomes very thin and dies. Some sick turtles only have one eye affected in the early stages of the disease. If no measures are taken, symptoms will soon appear in the other eye. Prevention and control methods: 1) Strengthen feeding and management. Before and after overwintering, when starting to eat, often feed animal livers (beef liver, sheep liver, rabbit liver, dried chicken, etc.) to strengthen nutrition and enhance disease resistance. 2) Disinfection of turtle-raising utensils: Soak turtle-raising glass tanks, aquariums, etc. in 10% salt water for 30 minutes. Rinse the turtle with clean water before raising it. 3) Soaking in nitrofurazone (or furazolidone) solution is both a preventive measure and can be used as early treatment. The concentration of 20 mg/L is used for juvenile turtles, and the concentration of 30 mg/L is used for juvenile to adult turtles. The length of soaking time depends on the water temperature. If necessary, soak once a day (40 minutes) for 3-5 consecutive days. 4: You can also apply erythromycin and chlortetracycline eye ointments.

Add a little oxytetracycline to food
