Your pets make you happy every day. And how sad it becomes when you see that your beloved turtle is sick. Quite often it happens that there is no way to go to the veterinarian. In such cases, good advice from those who have already encountered this problem comes to the rescue.
Instructions
Step 1
What to do if a turtle has stomatitis. The symptoms of this disease are impossible to miss. The animal, with all the desire to eat, cannot do this, since the oral cavity is covered with white spots, which very quickly become ulcers. The earlier you start treatment, the less your pet will suffer.
Step 2
In veterinary pharmacies there is a drug "dentavedin", it must be poured into the mouth of the turtle 2 times a day. This is difficult to do, the animal's jaws are strong and it is not easy to open them. You will need a narrow wooden spatula to pour the medicine. Gently insert it between the jaws, open the mouth and pour in the suspension. In order to prevent the disease from progressing, it is advisable to inject an antibiotic. Amoxicillin 15% for veterinary use, 1 time in 2 days, 1 cube per 1 kg of body weight, in an insulin syringe. It is necessary to inject into the muscle of the hind leg, it is not difficult. If after the first injection the condition has improved significantly, then the second injection is not necessary.
Step 3
And one more rather frequent and unpleasant case. If your turtle took a walk in the yard and after that spots with a pinkish tinge began to appear on its skin, which after a couple of days become wounds, do not rush to get scared. The main thing is not to start the disease. Immediately it is necessary to lubricate with hydrocartizone or tetracycline. If the turtle is water, then a decoction of chamomile or calendula should be added to the water. Don't forget about proper care and nutrition.
