Treating Skin Problems in Turtles(解決烏龜/草龜類皮膚問題)
1. How do I know if my turtle has a skin problem龜兒子皮膚怎麼回事啦?
Scabs, excess shedding, pale or dark
patches on the skin or shell, red and inflamed eyes, soft shells, and swollenlimbs can all be signs indicating a potential skin problem.
若皮膚上出現結痂、黏性脫落、白色或黑色斑點(或斑片),或者眼睛紅色、眼膜發白變質,以及軟殼和四肢腫脹(尤其是前爪從指尖開始逐漸的腫脹發展),都可能是指示潛在皮膚問題的跡象。
2. What causes skin problems(龜兒子的皮膚怎麼就不好了)?
Poor diet or poor water quality will often lead to skin problems in turtles. Cuts and scratches can also become infected leading to skin problems. Turtles with skin problems may also have other internal problems such as liver or kidney disorders.
伙食不好或者水環境質量低下,都是導致龜兒子皮膚問題的常見原因。當然打架鬥毆抓傷以及其他磨傷等,同樣會引發皮膚疾病。而看不見的原因則有可能會是腎臟和肺部等內部功能出現問題了。
3. Will skin problems fix themselves(破損的皮膚可不是那麼容易修復的)?
No. Skin problems generally indicate something is wrong with your turtle or your tank water. Tests including water quality tests, bacteria tests, blood tests, and x-rays may need to be done to determine what the cause is, how serious it is, and how to treat it.
龜兒子一旦出現皮膚問題,一般就表明烏龜本身出現問題,諸如感冒,肺炎等或者其他細菌性感染。因此保證水質是一般養龜主人必須注意的事項...... 氨,硝酸鹽,亞硝酸鹽和pH值。任何上述異常結果都會導致皮膚問題,需要考慮水量變化或餵養頻率的變化
4. What are the treatment options?
龜兒子能吃能喝才是好兆頭,對皮膚問題的治療可以包括適當補充抗生素,添加維生素補充劑(我一般投喂21金維他,讓龜兒子自己去泡分散的藥片周邊吸兩口),調整飲食(喂生魚肉等),好好管理一下水箱等
以下方案每天執行兩次,有時與抗生素聯合使用。
- 殺菌:用稀釋的殺菌溶液清洗受影響的皮膚/殼。
- 干養:上藥後將龜放在安全,乾燥的地方20-30分鐘
- 乾燥區域每天乾燥停留總共2-6小時,直到皮膚問題不再明顯。
