The cause of the disease is that semi-aquatic turtles stay in the pool where the water level is too deep for a long time, so they can only float on the water surface and stretch their necks to breathe. After a long time, the turtles lose their strength and choke water; sometimes they change water and suddenly increase the water level, and large fluctuations in the water surface can also lead to turtle drowning.

The neck of the tortoise is swollen and the limbs are weak. After dissection, the lungs were filled with water, and there was more water in the abdominal cavity.

After the prevention and treatment of diseased turtles are found, the head of the turtle is turned down, there is water flowing out of the nostrils, and the four-limb fossa of the tortoise is pressed with fingers, squeezing regularly. Slightly drowning turtles are placed in a ventilated place to slowly recover.
