A white film over a turtle's eye is usually white-eye disease, also called eye inflammation. Early signs include inability to open the eye and a foggy white layer around the orbit. Severe cases need veterinary treatment; if unavailable, try home medication. In early stages, apply erythromycin or chlortetracycline ointment after draining pus.

Ticks cause itching and scratching; heavy infestation brings anemia, anorexia, thinness, and lethargy. Engorged ticks are 2-10 mm, up to 30 mm, visible by parting fur. Spray alcohol on the bite to numb the tick, then pull it out with forceps and deworm externally regularly.
