Chelonia mydas

Juvenile


ADMIT
October 29, 2009
RELEASED

Weight 2.75  kg  
SCL: 29.4 cm

THE STRANDING Washed up on the beach near old Drum Inlet, north of Core Banks.  Very lethargic.
THE TREATMENT Kept out of water.  This turtle is only able to use her head.  No flipper movement noted.  Treated with antibiotics

The turtle did poop a couple of times which is always a good sign.
We did find small shells that would indicate she was scrounging in mud or sand for something to eat.
