Like any surgical procedure, a gastrojejunostomy could result in infection or another complication. A gastrojejunostomy connects the stomach to the jejunum, bypassing the duodenum, the beginning of the intestine at the bottom of this image.
One more thing: Don't make your turtle's water temperature too warm. For most adult aquatic turtle species, 78 F. (25.5 C.) is the highest you want unless you're treating them for an illness and a veterinarian has told you to raise the temperature. Otherwise, too-warm water can encourage bacteria growth in the tank. It also discourages turtles from basking sometimes.
â¢ Australian freshwater turtle species can be adequately housed in indoor aquarium set-ups. Their aquatic nature. requires the provision of water for swimming. More importantly they need to be in water to eat, drink and defecate. â¢ For most adult turtles a standard 1.2m long tank can be used (larger is better).
