LOGGERHEAD

Caretta caretta

Juvenile


ADMIT
June 13, 2008
RELEASED

Weight  55.4 kg  
SCL:  72.3 cm

THE STRANDING Nettie II was found in a pound net and an unusual wound to the flipper was noticed.  She has a puncture wound through the right carpel joint.  Some healing was noted however the wound seems to be festering.
THE TREATMENT The wound was flushed and treated with antibiotics.  After acclimation to her new surroundings she was happy to eat a pound of fish.
 

 
Nettie II has responded well to treatment.  It was hard to catch her flipper on the upstroke but the white area on her flipper is the healing tissue.
