How to deal with short-necked turtles:
1. White eye disease: The eyes of the short-necked turtles become swollen, the eyes are congested, and the cornea will erode. The eyeballs will be covered by a layer of white material, which prevents them from opening their eyes and eating.
Treatment: Apply chlortetracycline eye ointment to the affected area twice a day, and let the Australian short-necked turtle bask in the sun for disinfection.

2. Skin rot: This is due to the excessive breeding density. Bite between turtle and turtle, the wound is invaded by bacteria, resulting in skin necrosis at the wound.
Treatment: Apply chlortetracycline eye ointment to the wound, and place the short-necked turtle in water containing a small amount of oxytetracycline.
