- 5837. Hypo-vitaminosis A.
Metaplasia of the eyes?
One of the eyes
open after more than 3 weeks of hospitalisation
and treatment. Not all swollen eye cases can
recover if they are treated late. When the
terrapin is young, feed a variety of food in a
separate area or give an area for it to be out of
the water. Change water daily and use a water
filter. Commercial pellets are usually fed by
Singapore terrapin owners, with calcium shells put
inside the tank. Sunlight is important to warm up
the terrapin and boost its immune system.
Case 2. Corneal abrasion in the
terrapin's left eye
5651 - 5654. Ulcerative
keratitis in the left eye.
Day 1. Fluorescein dye stains the injured cornea
green.
5655 - 5662. Ulcerative
keratitis in the left eye.
Day 3, two
days after an IM injection.
As the husband was worried
about the effects of
fluorescein eye stain, I did
not use the test on review 2
days after the first
consultation. No further
complaints from the owner as
at Feb 6, 2013.
