When we were considering buying a turtle as a pet always think of the advantages offered to have it when at home, since it is an animal that needs the care that we have to pay as normal animals as a dog or cat. Anyway, we know that is one of the easier animals to fall ill, and with evils that can cause premature death.

First of all, we must begin to prefer a turtle raised in captivity, because the ‘hunted’ in wild field have much greater chance of becoming ill, since stress suffered by transport causes them a weakening of the immune system, following which can suffer various diseases they lead to the death.

The first thing to consider is that most of the ills that can affect the health of a turtle have to do with poor water quality, lack of proper lighting and shortcomings in the food. When you notice any symptoms that may suggest to us that our pet is ill, we must choose to monitor their water – both cleaning and hygiene – and the type of food that you give.

One of the most common diseases is a turtle eye infection. If we do not normally opens their eyes and, in turn, has its normal appetite is likely to have this problem, which we choose to wipe the eyes twice daily with a solution containing 3% boric acid and 97% distilled water or a mixture of salt water, ensuring that the liquid in it between right eye.
