I can't believe my little tortoise's been breathing a lot! The thing is, when I got up the morning before yesterday, I fed the turtles, as usual, to Qing, and suddenly it wasn't as active as it used to be, and there was a bit of food denial, a little more observation, and it was found that its head was reaching out, breathing and breathing.
Based on years of experience with turtles, the first reaction is over. This guy's pneumonia.
Because I've always been a deep-water turtle, it's easy to observe that it didn't float, so I should have judged it slightly.
Just as I was preparing the quarantine box, the heater and Amocilin, I was wondering why it had pneumonia in a summer that was not the season of tortoise pneumonia and cold fever.
Did you forget to put a cap on the air conditioner the night before yesterday, which made it cold?
A few hours after I put it in the bath, it suddenly occurred to me that this guy had recently been skinned.
So he looked at his nostrils and it was really covered with skin.
When the skin covered in his nostrils was scraped off with a cotton sticker, he did not open his mouth, which was an immediate effect, starting to search for food after re-entry.
The reason for sharing this is to tell you that if you find your own tortoise breathing, you first have to do something to see if the nostrils are blocked, rather than blind treatment.
And I'm glad, because I've always admired the conservative bubble bathing method, and it's hard to make sure that you lose a healthy turtle because of your substance, if you like many turtles.
