Treatment:
1, mild onychomycosis (superficial onychomycosis)
Remove floating dead nails and residue samples with toothpicks, clean and disinfect with hydrogen peroxide, and apply erythromycin eye ointment.
Dry culture for two weeks, soak in water two or three times a day, dry the turtle after leaving the water, clean and disinfect it with hydrogen peroxide, and apply erythromycin eye ointment.
2. Moderate and severe nail rot
Some turtles exude a rancid smell, and some need a zero distance to smell a faint rancid smell.
If there are floating dead nails and slag samples, pick them off with a toothpick or peel them off with a disinfection blade, clean them with hydrogen peroxide and apply potassium permanganate powder. If you don't have dry conditions, seal it with vaseline and protect it with a band-aid.
Moderate infection: oral cefadroxil is recommended. The course of treatment is 7- 10 days.
Severe infection: it has obvious rancid smell or perforation or a certain depth or weakness, so it is recommended to use antibiotic injection. The course of treatment is 7- 10 days.
Suggestion: Don't make a fuss about the soft part of the bone plate caused by bacterial infection. Brutal excavation is undoubtedly worse.
Case 1: the rotten nail in this picture, bacterial infection causes the bone plate to soften.
Open treatment is not supported, and antibiotics are recommended for injection.
Case 2 of rotten nails: the black part in the picture is layered, indicating that the nails are dead and need to be peeled off with a blade.
Local treatment: after peeling off the floating dead nails with a blade, clean and disinfect them with hydrogen peroxide and apply potassium permanganate powder directly. You can also use hydrogen peroxide to clean and disinfect several times a day without potassium permanganate powder.
If there is perforation, after cleaning and disinfection with hydrogen peroxide, dry the affected area with a sterile cotton swab, and soak the perforation with povidone iodine solution 4-5 times a day, each time 15 minutes.
If there is perforation and the tortoise has refused to eat, then the tortoise's refusal to eat may be caused by perforation, and antibiotics for injection must be used at this time.
Ceftriaxone sodium for injection with low toxicity was selected and made into liquid medicine for intraperitoneal injection according to the proportion of intraperitoneal injection.
Add some multi-dimensional elements during treatment, and remember to keep dry!
If a turtle friend chooses cheap Qingda, please note that Qingda stock solution can only be injected intramuscularly.
The treatment of severe onychomycosis takes a long time and requires love, patience and perseverance.
Case 3 of rotten nails: This kind of grass, the brown place turned out to be pale pink and tender.
Smell a slight fishy smell at zero distance, and use gentamicin injection for 7 days.
Ganyang takes a bath twice a day and applies eye ointment to the affected area before taking a bath.
After a month of nursed back to health, it has hardened and has no smell.
