Pets are sick, of course they need to see a doctor and take medicine, turtle is the same, but when all kinds of ineffectiveness, it is necessary to start injections. , I have always heard that catsdogshamsters and other pets are injected, but I have never heard of tortoise injections, so tortoises can be injected Is it? The answer is yes, but injection is a very risky thing, so we must be careful!

The conditions that turtles need injections:

I didn't eat for more than 20 days, and I had white stools. The spirit is getting worse.

Previous treatments:

Medicated baths, infusions. It didn't work. I felt that there were many drawbacks to taking the medicine. I didn't know how much medicine I took. The turtle resisted for a long time, and the exhaustion of physical strength was simply worse for the sick turtle. Accidentally cutting the turtle's esophagus or mouth, and the danger of inhaling the potion into the lungs, seems to have happened to me,

Injection requires items: 1ml syringe, iodophor, cotton wool, gentamicin injection. One injection per day, each injection measuring 0.1ml.

The course of treatment lasted for 8 days. After 3 days of treatment, I started to eat, but I didn't eat much.

Injection steps:

1. Prepare a 1ml syringe, iodophor, cotton wool, and gentamicin for injection, and suck the needle water into the syringe first. Control the dose, I use 0.1ml, the cap of the iodophor bottle is opened, and the cotton swab is ready.

2. Pull out the turtle, dry the water on the turtle, cool it for a while or wipe it with a tissue.

3. Pulling the turtle's legs out is more difficult. I believe that the turtle must have shrunk its head and feet into its shell when the injection reached this step for the first time. When swaying in the air, it usually sticks out its head and feet. The second method is to hold the turtle in its hand. Make one side of the turtle close to the floor and the other side hanging in the air. The tortoise's instinct is to run away. hind legs. It is better to hold the turtle between the legs after grabbing the legs or another person to help hold the turtle.

4. Use a cotton swab dipped in iodophor to wipe the place where the needle will be inserted on the turtle's leg.

5. After the poisoning, use the syringe needle to stab the needle in a direction less than 30 degrees from the leg. The action should be steady, and the turtle's leg should be held firmly. The turtle will struggle when the needle is inserted. When you see that the needle goes in about 0.5cm, you start to push the medicine. Then pull out the needle, press the needle mouth with a cotton swab dipped in iodophor, and let it dry overnight. Watering it the next day. Sick turtles are generally recommended to be dry-raised.

The most important point is that the syringe must not be contaminated. It is best to buy a disposable syringe. The reused syringe must be sterilized. My method is to use After finishing, wipe the needle with iodophor and cover the lid. When using it for the second time, first scald the needle molecule with boiling water, then wipe the iodophor for disinfection and use it again. Use the potion immediately after opening the lid. used,
