⚠️ Sintomas Urgentes

🐚urgent

Shell Rot

Shell rot is a bacterial or fungal infection of the shell that causes soft spots, discoloration, foul smell, and pitting. It progresses inward and can become life-threatening if it reaches underlying bone.

🫁urgent

Respiratory Infection

Respiratory infections in turtles cause bubbling from the nose, open-mouth breathing, lopsided swimming (one lung affected), and wheezing. Common in aquatic turtles kept in cold water or poor conditions.

👁️urgent

Swollen or Closed Eyes

Swollen, puffy, or closed eyes in turtles are most commonly caused by Vitamin A deficiency (hypovitaminosis A), which affects the tear glands and mucous membranes. Also caused by bacterial infection or poor water quality.

🦴urgent

Soft Shell (Metabolic Bone Disease)

A soft, flexible shell in a hard-shelled turtle indicates metabolic bone disease (MBD) from calcium deficiency, lack of UVB light, or incorrect diet. Without treatment, the shell deforms permanently.
