space between the intestinal canal and body wall). Some drugs affect the renal system and renal failure can result if hydration is not maintained. A course of five to ten injections are usually required, depending on the drug used. Where nephrotoxic drugs (damaging to the renal system) are used they should be injected into the forelimbs, otherwise severe kidney damage could result. With other drugs the rear limbs can be used. In severe cases nebulisation can be used to aid treatment, using the antibiotic recommended by your vet, mixed 1/2 ml antibiotic with 5 ml saline. This should be done 4 times daily if possible. Yes, a tortoise can stop breathing for a considerable time, but a sick animal usually hasn't the strength to do so and there for nebulising does work in a number of cases and certainly should be tried.

　　治疗期间把龟龟放在一个温暖的环境下是至关重要的。这会加速新陈代谢和药物吸收的速度提高动物的免疫能力。通常推荐温度在28～33摄氏度。最关键的是维持龟龟身体中的水份，如果它不喝水，兽医可以给龟龟皮下输液，或者体腔内注射（肠道外壁和体腔之间）。如果没有足够的水份，有些药物影响肾功能甚至能导致肾衰。一个治疗周期一般5～10次注射，看用什么样的药物了。对肾脏有伤害的药物需要从前肢注射，否则会引起严重的肾脏伤害。其他不对肾脏有伤害的药物则可以在后肢注射。在病情严重的情况下，可以在兽医的建议下使用nebulisation（喷雾方式）进行治疗，混和 1/2ml 抗生素到5ml生理盐水中。如果可能，每天可以进行4次。你的龟可以屏住呼吸很长时间，但是生病的动物通常做不到这点。这时候喷雾在很多情况下管用，你可以试试。

　　Finally, do not make the mistake of comparing RNS to the human common cold or flu, and think that it will clear by itself if given time. It won't. Treatment is essential, and as soon as possible. The longer RNS is left the more difficult it is to clear. RNS can and does kill, don't let your tortoise become a victim. Inspect nostrils daily if possible and get help fast if you spot any nasal discharge.

　　最后，不要把RNS想成人们通常意义上的感冒和流感，不要想像龟龟可以自己回复，他们不会的。治疗越快越好。时间越长的RNS，治疗时会越困难。RNS可以杀死你的龟龟，不要让你的龟龟成为牺牲者。每天检查龟龟鼻孔，如果发现任何液体流出，尽快治疗。
