Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Herpetology
  • Aquatic Animal Health

Background:

  • Chelonian therapeutics involves the diagnosis and treatment of aquatic turtles, semi-aquatic turtles, and tortoises.
  • Effective management requires specialized knowledge of reptile physiology and common pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of chelonian therapeutic strategies.
  • To outline specific treatment protocols for critical cases.
  • To present essential drug formulary information for reptile practitioners.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of various treatment modalities for chelonian diseases.
  • Inclusion of specific protocols like the 'crashed-out turtle' and 'septic turtle' protocols.
  • Compilation of traditional and allometric drug formularies.
