When the large-headed turtle has symptoms of rot skin, it needs to be isolated first to prevent it from infecting other turtles, and then wipe the rot skin with iodophor, and then apply erythromycin ointment for treatment.

When the rotten skin of the big-headed tortoise is serious, the area is larger and the depth is deeper , you can even see the bones, which if left untreated are likely to result in death. Povidone-iodine can be used to disinfect the wound. The deep wound may be coated with erythromycin with a sterile cotton ball and inserted into the wound. The outer layer should be applied and sealed, and an amoxicillin medicated bath should be used.
