Treatment methods for yellow-headed and side-necked turtle skin:

1. Remove the rotten epidermis and dead skin from the affected area, and apply chlortetracycline eye ointment once a day.

2. If the yellow-headed side-necked turtle eats by itself, add sermycin powder to the bait.

3. If the yellow-headed and side-necked turtle has stopped eating, you can feed it with oxytetracycline at a dosage of 1 gram per kilogram of turtle, and then isolate and raise the sick turtle. Do not keep them in water to avoid aggravating the condition.

Methods to prevent Yellow-headed side-neck turtle rotten skin:

1. Water quality. The water quality for raising yellow-headed side-necked turtles must be neutral or alkaline. If the water pH is lower than 6.0, rotten skin will appear. Do not use sunken wood in the breeding tank. Sunken wood will release a large amount of humic acid after being soaked. It is easy to cause turtle skin rot.

2. Bask your back. Yellow-headed side-necked turtles like to bask in the sun very much, and slightly rotten skin can be cured by basking on their backs.

3. Environment. A stable, quiet, and close-to-natural environment gives turtles a sense of security and prevents stress-induced skin rot.
