Cause: Caused by Aeromonas punctata infection. Symptoms: Sick turtles respond slowly to external stimuli. The most obvious sign of the disease is that the entire plastron becomes red and swollen or appears in a red patch pattern, accompanied by ulceration and edema. Some turtles bleed from the mouth and nose. Necropsy shows severe liver lesions; some are black; some are mottled. The intestines show localized or entire-segment congestion and inflammation; some have fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity. Prevention and control: 1) Control stocking density; 2) Improve the pond bottom substrate, and thoroughly clear the pond at the end of production;

Prevention and control:

1) Control stocking density;

2) Improve the pond bottom substrate, and thoroughly clear the pond at the end of production;

3) Inject "aquatic turtle bacterial disease vaccine" for prevention;

4) For affected ponds, use: "Yu Jun Qing series disinfectant" or "Yu Yong Bo Mie" or "Mie Du Ling" for whole-pond splashing disinfection, and at the same time feed "Qiang Ke 103", "Qiang Ke 99" or "Bie Bi Kang" for 3 to 5 consecutive days;

5) Soak sick turtles in "medicated bath Bo Mie" at a concentration of 2 ppm.
