LOGGERHEAD Caretta caretta Juvenile |
|
| THE STRANDING | Observed in distress around
Figure Eight Island, turtle hauler Nancy Fahey once again took the
plunge and rescued this sea turtle. The turtle has multiple carapace fractures.  |
| THE TREATMENT | The wounds were cleaned and
antibiotics administered before placing the turtle in shallow
water. She will make the trip to the NC State School of
Veterinary Medicine for surgery. |
| OCT 17 |
Eight had her carapace repaired and she was
returned to the center that day. Her wounds are flushed and bandage changed every two days and she continues to receive antibiotics.    |
| JAN 2008 |
Healing well, Eight remains in shallow
water due to the severity of the wound. Bandages are changed every 4
days, and on those days she also gets lots of water to swim in.
She has also taken to pooping just before the staff is ready to leave
for the day. She loves the extra attention! |
