THE STRANDING Splash is one of those turtles we call the living dead.  These sea turtles are so tough they just keep on going and going and floating and floating until their last little puff of breath.

How can you tell a turtle is skinny?  Look at the sunken eyes and thin neck.
THE TREATMENT She needs lots of fluids, food, vitamins and antibiotics, and love.

And love she received.  Peggy gives a relaxing neck massage to Splash to calm her before her physical.
