Okies dokies. Tortue has been drydocked for the past two days with iodine solution painted on the infected area. So far, so good. One of the shutes looks better, like the fungus receding but maybe it's just me.

Am thinking of keeping this up for the next few days/weeks - blah. That means I'll have to empty out his 1.5 ft tank, filter, plants and basking, etc, put it aside (under my workstation), adjust his heating lamp and UVB lamp and bring the iodine solution to work. O_O

Plus I noticed something about him. When he pees or poops during drydock, he'll start going nuts trying to climb out of his portable tank. If he's quiet and everything, it means he's happy or at least comfy.

Ekiddie: I got him on iodine so far which is what's recommended (it's the main ingrediant for bethadine)...so see how. If it doesn't work, I dunno leh. =.=

AND he's annoying me with his constant "trying to climb out but end up hitting the bottom of the tank", so I put a piece of filter sponge on the bottom of the tank as a lining.

Hope everyone had a good holiday! I bought Tortue home to five days of glorious sunshine...but it doesn't look like his minor soft shell problem is improving at all. I've been feeding him Nutrafin Basix and the UVB lamp is turned on 10 hours a day.

Right now, it's spread to another shute and the other shutes look sunken. sad.gif HOW LA????

it can take up to a year for them their shell to heal

QUOTE(Drascox @ Oct 27 2006, 06:00 PM)
if white you say, then most probably is fungus infection, couldn't be sure without photo though,

if really fungus infection on shell, keep your turt dry most of the time, yes.. DRY, leave only an hour or so for feeding and for your turt to drink... the other 23 hour, dry....
apply bethadine on the white spot...

i read that it is very stressful to drydock them for long hours since they are aquatic by natrure. have you tested drydocking them for 23 hours?

QUOTE(ekiddie @ Oct 27 2006, 07:18 PM)
me not feeding my turts only on pellets... which infact pellets is not de main food... i feed them varieties of food tat i can find and buy... they ate mainly worms (earth, blood and even meal), veges (any kind! hahaa!), shrimps and sometimes of course pellets lor... never fed them fishes b4 coz' i own musk turtles... no fishie tat small for them tho... hahaaa!!

guys... anyone of u in here are using any cannister power filter running on their tank? i plan to get one this week... do hope can get more info b4 i'm buying one... now still undecided to get whether a china brand or a branded ones which cost double the price of a china brand one... i really don wanna regret later on... and oso don hope things get spoilt easily or bad filtration... wants a money worth spending...

any comment on cannister filter? and i'm looking for one tat is small (for tanks of 1 1/2 feet) and oso comes wif rainbar... in mind now tot of petting de turtles and oso some small fishie inside... hehe... like neon tetra... nice!  thumbup.gif

do appreciate some feedback b4 i head on to buy one...

i use a canister filter but for my planted aquarium not turtles. very cheap one (china made) rm135 but no warranty. been using it since early this year. still working fine. shop owner at 88 said never had any customer complain even after one year.

QUOTE(meiteoh @ Oct 27 2006, 08:12 PM)
Drascox: I guess as much! Went surfing on some turtle forums and realized that Tortue has fungus infection on his shutes. Luckily caught it soon. I did a salt soak for him for about 15 mins today together with some fungus guard medication (for fish punya) as temporary precaution.

I have him on drydock now (with my table lamp providing him some heat and light for tonight la) and will most probably do the same until he gets better. Although he doesn't look too happy being dry. Is it okay if I drydock him for the entire day except for feeding and drinking? I though RES are semi-aquatic turtles. (See pic below.)

OH, how do I drydock him while I sun him? Leave a couple cm of water or check him every hour or so to see that he doesn't overheat?

Btw, where can I get bethadine?

good thing you detected early. else will become like mine. (90% of shell already infected). dunno how long will heal

QUOTE(uzairi @ Oct 27 2006, 10:52 PM)

5 Days is not enough, it takes time. UVB lamp should be open 24/7 for better results.
Woah, they're showcasing their turtle collection eh.  rclxm9.gif
Cannister filter is quite expensive, how much u get yours and which brand ?
Lucky for u to trace the fungus, about the bethadine u can try to get them from the pharmacies or from the vets.

uv on 24/7? then turtle get no sleep la?

Sayasebudak: This little rascal will try to crawl out non-stop for a few minutes after I put the iodine on and when he poops/pees. After that, he just settles down to tidur or just sits in a corner.

where you buy iodine?
IMO tortue is peeing and poing because he is under a lot of stress. thats why he looks like he is trying to climb out. animals (even humans) will pee/poo whenever they are under a lot of stress. that's why when you buy new fish from lfs, the plastic bag will always be full of poo.
